The link below is to a list of recent work and exhibitions in 2008. Some were made under the Arts Councils auspices, some were being made under AHRC Practice and Applied Route funding. The AHRC projects were all loosely connected by the search for the 'photographic moment', a proposition by the great cinematographer Conrad Hall, that in every shot of every moving image sequence there should be a photographic moment within the onward stream of images. These pieces are equally connected by an exploration of the immersive possibilities of high resolution images and its attendent performative response by the viewers of the work, the audience.
