My work involves a solo audience member exploring a site on foot. I aim to make work which amplifies the cinematic quality of moving forward through a landscape and the way walking charges a location. I am interested in perceptions of danger and vulnerability in outdoor spaces, ecstatic experiences to do with heightened sense of self and the place and adrenalin as a way into an altered state.

I layer sequences of the real environment with interpretive and imagined visual narratives, often  involving physical interventions in the landscape. I take a series of still photographs a pace apart along a route which, when flicked or scrolled in situ, create a moving image sequence that shows the way ahead. We may follow a figure to unnoticed features or hidden places or watch them navigate impossible spaces. 

I'm investigating ways of amplifying what is felt, seen or heard live while walking as a way of navigating an audience to a found site, and looking at tactile navigation devices and other sensory ways of giving directional information that allow you to find your own way to a destination, rather than follow a set route.
