FINAL THOUGHTS, SERIES ONE
Canada, 2004-07, 83 mins, video
'I just got this tattoo — you can see it's still healing, the
edges are raised like some sort of fancy business card — to mark
the completion of this, Series One of my on-going project, Final Thoughts.
So, on one wrist, facing fistward, a skull and, on the other, still
tender and healing, a ghost. Let them be the mascots for the series,
little cartoony avatars. Here it is then, Final Thoughts, Series One
in nine episodes.' SR

AH, LIBERTY
UK, 2008, 20 mins, 16mm anamorphic
A family’s place in the wilderness – living, working, playing
on a farm throughout the seasons; free-range animals and children, junk
and nature, all within the most sublime landscape. The work aims at a sense
of freedom, the scale of which is reflected in the hand-processed Scope
format. There’s no particular story; beginning, middle or end, just
fragments of lives lived.
