| His interest in moving image is
principally informed by the body of work created by
artists, whose concerns are not narrative or
documentary. As the moving image became
appropriated by storytellers and conveyers of
ideology and information in the early part of the
20th Century, these visual artists sought to use
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 a
more abstract potential, freed from the structure
of representation, concerned instead with the
materiality of the medium; light and darkness,
colour, movement and rhythm. Current and emergent
digital technologies and software offer the artist
the possibility of blurring the boundaries between
existing art-forms even further.
His work covers a range of activities: as an artist making moving image work for single-screen viewing, gallery installation and live performance: 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. |
