is a practicing Artist Filmmaker. His work with moving image is profoundly informed by the body of work created by artists since the beginning of cinema. As the moving image became appropriated by storytellers and conveyers of ideology and information in the early part of the 20th Century, visual artists have used the medium for other purposes. Having dispensed with narrative as a means of structuring time, many turned to music as the model to organise the duration of this new visual time-based medium.
Explored in this way, the moving image becomes an abstract medium, freed from representation, consisting in- stead of the fundamentals of light and darkness, colour, movement and rhythm. Current and emergent digtal technologies offer the artist the possiblity of blurring the boundaries between existing artforms even further.
As an artist he believes in the principle of mixing traditional and innovatory technologies and working methods to achieve what can be called eyemusic.
His work covers a range of activities: as an artist making moving image work for single-screen viewing and gallery installation; as a facilitator of arts education project work with regional, national and international arts organisations in collaboration with composers, musicians and dancers. The outcomes of these projects can also be work for single screen, multi-screen installation or live mixing and projection of video and digital imagery for performance. He is a core artist with Salamanda Tandem. In addition he’s a senior lecturer in Moving image at the Faculty of Art, Architecture and Design at Lincoln University.
