Shampoo
2021 | VIDEO ART | 4 mins
For this piece of video art, I sit in a bathtub while purple shampoo is poured over my body. It's a meditation on the passage of time through menial tasks during various lockdowns. It was commissioned by Signdance Collective for their 'Essence of TIME' Collection. In August 2021 I was selected as the lead artist at the Hybrid Festival in High Wycome. This piece took centre stage.

A show from Signdance Collective. I created the film inside the show and I also perform.
TIME V
2020 | VIDEO ART
A piece of video art where I shave. Commissioned as part of 'TIME' series of film with a series of international artists. I also edited the other 15 films in the collection.
