Thorney Bay Caravan Park on Canvey Island. A strange desolate place from another time. The constant eerie whining sounds coming from the nearby sewage treatment plant added to the atmosphere whist shooting round the clock in all weather conditions.

Dreaming of an Idealised Life in a Digital Dimension.



"In fact, since the originary enclosures, the concept of boundary has undergone numerous changes as regards both the facade and the neighbourhood it fronts. From the palisade to the screen, by way of ramparts, the boundary-surface has recorded innumerable perceptible transformations, of which the latest is probably that of the interface. Once again, we have to approach the question of access to the city in a new manner. For example, does the metropolis possess its own facade? At which moment does the city show its face?

Manderley


"Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. It seemed to me I stood by the iron gate leading to the drive and for a while I could not enter, for the way was barred to me"
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

Christmas Tree

Film test in Studio 100 London during the Christmas period. I was intrigued by the graphic nature of the Christmas Tree shape during a late evening in the studio, playing with perspective illusion.

The Battle of Barnet 1471

The Battle of Barnet was fought on the morning of Easter Day 14 April 1471. The armies fought across the heath in thick fog & heavy gunsmoke of artillery. In the ensuing four hours of fighting much confusion reigned & battle lines wheeled around a 45 degree axis. Eventually with the Lancastrian army in disarray the Earl of Warwick, the Kingmaker, was cut down.
