Passing Through (Whilst Sitting Still) (2024)

To be played on a screen with a chair/bench for the viewer.

THERE WILL BE A VIDEO HERE (FLOW) (2025)

This work is a conversation with the water in a river and the passer-by, the text taking it’s position and cues from the footage. The dialogue speaks of the symbiotic relationship we experience, circular themes of life-death, clouds-rivers-sea to all the places in between, including the time spent inside us. We FLOW.

Living & Breathing With Dad (2021)

A video made with observational audio and video clips that I collected, via my phone, whilst my Dad has been ill. They have been collaged together & interspersed with text.

I found that my looking changed during this time and that is reflected in the everyday moments I recorded. These moments seemed to speak of our predicament, analogies of living and breathing, time and motion, the beauty and the glitches.

My Body (2021)

The artists menopausal body stands as a spokesperson for the bodies of Older Women, a body that is often neglected and unseen in social media and advertising.

WHAT? (2025)

This film takes footage from shopfronts and public places and puts them together to form a video full of questions re public messaging systems and information that is meant for the passer-by. By being displayed in a High Street window it asks the same question of the video art piece…WHAT?

Above The Noise (2023) by Pauline Scott Garrett, edited by Aliceson

Edited for my great, late friend Pauline Scott Garrett for her exhibition at Rise, Frome. The piece is made up from her photographs, video and her printmaking, including sound and images recorded in the U.K, Italy and Grenada, W.I.

It's not just about the arse (2007)

This film documents the artists hand, a bottom, and the dynamic that played out.

Film made on Mini DV which I recently converted from the dvd it was on.

Awarded an 'OFFICIAL SELECTION' laurel from The Blow-up Arthouse FF in 2018.

In 2009 Kodak stopped making the processing chemicals. The last lab in the world processing was Dwayne’s in Parsons, Kansas.

Feeling driven to commemorate this moment in history I took my last rolls of Kodachrome on a trip from London to Dwayne’s. This is the slideshow road trip film of my journey.

The Kodachrome feature film by Mark Raso, staring Ed Harris is based on A.G. Sulzberger's 2010 New York Times article "For Kodachrome Fans, Road Ends at Photo Lab in Kansas". The front page article includes a piece about me and my journey.

THERE WILL BE A VIDEO HERE (WATCHING WAVES) (2025)

This film is based on a diary text, the poetic form is accompanied by layered segments of Wagner’s Tannhauser Overture; which is based on a story of earthly love and the redemptive love of sacred devotion.

LONDON BIRD (2014)

Experimental Mocumentary on a sighting of a rare species of bird in London.

Breakdown (2019)

I had a bad year, lots of serious family health issues piled up, all year. The footage is of me driving around an empty mental health hospital car park.

It was a semi finalist at the Alternative FF in Toronto and it has an Honorable Mention laurel from Experimental Forum FF 2020 in L.A.

Action (Wootton Bassett) (2010)

This was the last and 167th repatriation through Wootton Bassett on 18 August when the body of 24-year-old Lt Daniel Clack, of 1st Battalion The Rifles, was returned to the UK from Afghanistan.

My Warmth For You (tummy as landscape) (2022)

This work is about feelings, relationships, worries and carefree attitudes to lived experience. Throughout the film an ice cube melts on a tummy. A tummy that is upside down. How do we continue to exist in such a world that is going through dramatic change, how do we hold onto each other and at the same time care for ourselves?

Coastal Erosion (2019)

Filmed on the south coast of Devon with a camera phone and a bucket of Sea; this film explores the actions and notions of coastal erosion and does it with reverence. It came form an overbearing urge to touch the sea water in the rock pools, and a similar compulsion to wet the rocks, to see them shine. This along with the hypnotic rhythm from the waves drew me to explore the actions of the water, creating an almost ritualistic action that is akin to a caress.

HE FELL (2021)

Made for Arts Chaplaincy, an online exhibition of 36 artist responses to the Stations of the Cross at Easter.

The footage shows a spring running past St John’s, my local church in Enmore Green, Dorset, built in 1842. I often stop here to listen and reflect. The rhythmically flowing water becomes a quiet point of meditation and contemplation, drawing attention tto the simple, often overlooked wonders of the natural world and the possibility of finding moments of spirituality within the everyday.

Cross Border Border Cross (2020)

The middle of the river marks the Irish border in the small village of Pettigo. The editing of the three pieces of footage playfully speaks to the difference that a border makes - to it’s inhabitants, economy, relationships and politics: In the past and for the years to come.

The audio and footage is slowed down and returned to normal, to be played on a loop.

The Kiss (Me Quick) (2017)

4 x 4:3 screen installation piece.

Filmed in Margate and inspired by Rodin's The Kiss and childhood holidays. The SUN & SEA is made up of footage from an AMUSEMENTS sign. The diver is set behind an alcove from the disused Lido in an effort to bring it back to life. The Balls are there for irony.
