My work is an attempt to draw links between our everyday experiences, and the social, political and cultural forces that shape our lives. I believe that each is essential to the understanding of the other. I am interested in who makes work, how, why, for whom, and why that matters. I explore collective processes, and their value for individual and collective growth and change. I am interested in what happens when we make work together; ways of achieving things that none of us could alone. Art making is a form of collective dreaming, if we let it.

Walk is part of a series of films exploring the experience of being in London at night. It was made with a group largely comprised of strangers over a 12-hour period, overnight from sunset to sunrise. I instigated informal discussions about participants' experiences of the city, and from these wrote a narrative, part live action and part poetic voiceover, which we recorded on the journey.
The first film in the series can be seen here.
I was invited to make the work during the Midnight Run, a night-time cultural event created by writer and artist Inua Ellams, as part of UNESCO's International Year of Light.
