Lately my work has inclined towards video, exploring the medium from a range of perspectives (performance, installation, documentary making....). I have found filmmaking to be a very creative process, which tends to change organically as the project unfolds. For the Final Project, I intend to employ some of the techniques I have learned, to create a series of experimental music videos, which test the relationship between sound and the moving image.

Influence-wise, I am inspired by the collaboration between Chris Cunningham and Aphex Twin, several Radiohead videos (such as Knives Out, directed by Michael Gondry, below) and a few ads that catch my attention off the telly...
