I’m a Moving Image artist and painter based in Wales, UK. The commonality between the two media I use is that all my work heavily involves faces, usually of male subjects sitting at tables. These men busy themselves in small, often pathetic acts which betray the typical masculine tropes; I use self-deprecation, contradiction and often humour; always in an attempt to uncover a little poetry.
All my recent experimental films have utilised the element of the mask, usually cheap generic latex masks purchased off the internet, which allow pretty much anyone or multiple people, to play one of my strange characters, anywhere, anytime.
My film SPY FILM uses mask to question the dynamic between viewer and viewed- can that which does the seeing ever itself be seen? and in PATH a strange rubber-faced character drags his own head over the Moroccan sand dunes, eventually burning it in a fire.
