There’s info here about most of the films I’ve made as an artist. Film titles appear in reverse chronological order in the sidebar on the right: ie the most recent film is at the top. The work includes:
- video art made as a BA fine art student at Gwent College of Higher Education from 1982 to 1985; with performance and installation art, and interventions included in the Other artwork section
- early 16mm films made between 1986 and 1988 which weren’t made into married (comopt) prints
- film-based and video work made during the 1990s
- moving image work for cinema distribution and television broadcast
- single and multiple screen work staged as a gallery installation
- single and multiple screen work staged as a site specific installation
- moving image work for urban screens and exterior projection
- audiovisual work for 360 cinema
Titles available on DVD or BetaSP, the principle screening formats for Super 8mm, 16mm and 35mm film-based and digital video work from 2000 to 2011, are now available on Blu-ray. Other exhibition options are playback from a Mac laptop or external drive. Some titles are also available online.
I sometimes exhibit enlarged photographic prints of film frames before the film itself is completed as a moving image piece: this info is included, although details of some stills appear in Other artwork.
