All of a Sudden I Began to Melt


15 minute video installation.
Exhibited at Kinsgate Projects as part of the solo exhibition All of a Sudden I Began to Melt. The film reflects on contemporary wellness and the space it
occupies in our culture and psyche. Set within a serene, sterile spa treatment room and taking place during a massage, the short film surreally explores
the worker-client power dynamics of the service industry. The treatment takes an uncanny turn when the client notices a half eaten packet of wotsits on the
sideboard; like the grit in the massage oil, their incongruous presence shatters the facade of the luxury experience.

The work was created in collaboration with Luke Kulukundis & Mateo Villanueva Brandt of Foreign Body Productions and set designer Matty Mancey-Jones.
The development of All of a Sudden I Began to Melt has been generously supported by Kingsgate Workshops’ Residency Programme and The Elephant Trust.

Swallow Up


8 minute video installation.
Exhibited at 1646 as part of the solo exhibition Swallow Up. This film was made with generous support from ARCUS Project and features interviews with
Astronaut Naoko Yamazaki and Space Psychologist Tomio Kinoshita. The film explores our relationship with the infinite; which teeters on the edges
of fear, wonder, existential anxiety and awe. And juxtaposes the expansiveness of outer space with the claustrophobia of our internal worlds. It was shot
on location in Ibaraki, Japan in 2019.
