Video & Installation

Boat. An installation at Barim, Gwangju, South Korea, in June 2015 comprising a 16m boat made of bamboo & rice sacks, two video projections, light, sound, fog, & series of 10 works on paper each 40 x 30cm. The metaphoric boat, floating in a large darkened space with blue spotlights refracted through fog, sound of crashing ocean waves, cries of people. First incarnation of this project.

 

Forest of Memories. An installation of video projections onto silk banners, printed & embroidered images on silk banners, & interviews on plasma TVs by Geoff Levitus & Kristine McCarroll during a residency with New Space Arts Foundation in Hue, Vietnam in March 2011. A forest of banners and images to wander through, to wonder about a collective memory in Vietnam.

Interiors in search of a resident.
