My film, 'Syncopation' (2017) will be featured in a screening of short artist films, 'Inexpressible', curated by Sightlines Projects as part of the Fringe Arts Festival in Bath on Wednesday 3 June from 18:30 – 20:00pm at the Old Glass Works, 105 Walcot Street, Bath BA1 5BW. The screening presents an array of lived experience that reflects the intersection of the personal and the political in thought-provoking ways from the ten selected artists. 

'Syncopation' is based on the poem, 'Home: A Structure on Trial' by Polish poet, Rafał Gawin. It was originally commissioned for the 'Talking Transformations: Home on the Move' project, curated by Dr. Manuela Perteghella and Dr. Ricarda Vidal, which sought to investigate what ‘home’ means in the light of Brexit and EU migration.

The poem took on autobiographical resonance, symbolic of my partner’s recovery from heart failure, with the home representing a place of refuge and safety, whilst also becoming claustrophobic. The flickering sunlight, reflected upon the floors and doors is indicative of his irregular heartbeat – “a fabulous echo of nocturnal misfires” or a “collision of elements”. Correlations are drawn between the structural dwelling and its human presence and absence – “Home is a game of hide-and-seek” with “bodies that carry out the dodging”.

My short film, 'I don’t wanna be the best, I just wanna dance' (2025) has been selected for this forthcoming international film festival. It will be screened in the 'Dreams, Masks and Mirrors' programme at The Cavendish Hotel on Friday 8th May.

The work is a reimagining of my childhood memory of learning to dance, in order to overcome my shyness and defy the trauma of school bullying through a reflective telephone conversation with my mother. This narrated slide show draws upon three analogue photographs from the family album to illuminate my pursuit of self-transformation amid perceived failure.

The 'Self-Portrait Projections' photographs (2024) from the 'I don't wanna be the best...I just wanna dance' project have been selected by Charlotte Grayland for her curated online gallery about lived experience and memory for Axis.

"In this curatorial selection, I wanted to highlight artists in their varying approaches to capturing memories, exploring both personal and lived experiences, to more cultural and universally shared instances." - Charlotte Grayland.

'Hushing the Room Enclosed' (2008) from the 'Waste Land' project and 'Syncopation' (2017) from the 'Twenty' project have been selected by Asuf Ishaq for his curated online gallery about the home, space, time and memory for Axis.
