Portraits 

Stills from experimental film

Sills from an experimental film now lost. The film was inspired complicated assignations and the low lighting conditions of candle light which were filmed in Stanley Kubrick’s film ‘Barry Lyndon’.

KIT DANCING, 2018

Film shot in New York. I strung up a sheet in the apartment . The winter sun shone directly through the window for one hour each day. Kit danced silently, moving without music until the sun went away .

A memory captured at a certain place and at a certain time. The still images from the film were later made into Cyan prints. [which are made with sunlight] The film and the prints are made to be shown together when exhibited.

SELF-PORTRAIT. Nona, daughter & grand-daughter, 2019

To be shown on a loop. Three mins duration . Along side the still self portrait photograph. Distorted self portraits of ourselves. Three generations of women. Its empowering and it feels good.

For the first time in history; we have absolute control of how we are perceived. This process of recognition is still in a state of flux- dissolving from one to another but we are at the same time defining the philosophy of our freedom to control how we are perceived through the male gaze and to make sense of it in celebration.

Thank you Mary Beard for her book Women and Power and Ferdy Carabott for the printing.
