"Fragments and Traces: Embodied encounters
This series of short videos responds to the visual and sonic textures of my neighbourhood in North-East London. The work explores the relationship between body and space through fragments of embodied experience. The videos combine details of my paintings, drawings, videos and field recordings into a multi-layered audio-visual environment. Everyday geometries of road sides and interconnecting tree branches are cut and layered with images of my paintings and drawings, aerial maps and imagery from an MRI scan of my knee. The project encapsulates how the physical process of making art about everyday encounters taps into a deeper understanding of the relationships between bodies and the spaces we exist in.
