My new film ~ The Scrying Eye ~ launches online at 8pm this eve, part of Art Night. It will initially be online for 48 hrs until 8pm 1st July. 
I hope you’ll get a chance to watch it, link in bio x

Working with bioacoustics, biological time and electromagnetism, the film explores the ephemerality of intense sensory states, their stimuli and physiological effects. Set in a time where human touch is no longer allowed, it is a journey into a spring/summer ritual, an awakening of the senses through the conduits of the stinging nettle (urtica dioica), for its properties as both an irritant to the body and a tonic. The film unfolds within a performance of bodily rhythms – recordings from physiological responses including variations in heart-rate and breathing, associated brainwave frequencies, and incantatory vocals, to conjure a visual and sonic pathway through a cycle of intensity, decay and invigoration.

Over a year has passed since I’ve taken this photo and I am only just beginning to come to terms with it. Only now is it that I feel that I must share what happened and what I have come to realise from the existence of this photo. @rachealcrowther and I were shopping for nothing in particular in the suburban living nightmare that is lordship lane market - notice the little white box I’m holding - inside it was the most flavourless millefeuille I have ever had the displeasure of feeling with the inside of my mouth (to call it tasting would be gratuitous) for a cool £4.20. Ambling along the stalls of overpriced whitewashed furniture we came across a mirror stand. None of the merchants claimed to be responsible for this stand but it seemed the only one which had any kind of character, it was however still overpriced, this particular specimen was £69.00 - not exactly what I’d call a bargain - STILL, something about this mirror charmed me... it seemed out of place, there was no particular feature about it that I could really pick out and explain why it gave it such a unique presence compared to the others, other than the ominous sense that it was not supposed to be there.Intrigued by this object but impeded by the lack of a sales person I found myself in a limbo, so I simply took a picture of the mirror in question with the intention of coming back later and purchasing it when the merchant might be present. If i had had the slightest phantom - the shadow of an idea of what I was doing at the time I would have forgotten about this entirely right there and then, for ever since I took the picture I felt as if something had followed me from that place. Images of the mirror haunted me increasingly, after leaving that place, I could not rid it from my mind nor could I rid the concept of seeing that which we do not want to while looking into any mirror. I went back to try and find it, to stop this obsession but when I looked at this photograph I froze, for the third person in this picture was never there when I took this photo. Why was he pointing at me? Does he point at me still? Is it only through this mirror I can tell? Is it where this spirit dwells and must return?
