The Phone Call, 1:24 mins

This video work recontextualises footage of a high-stakes art auction, cutting and splicing moments to suggest a romantic conversation between two people. Their subtle movements and glances imply intimacy, but what appears to be desire is in truth the thrill of financial gain from the sale of a Botticelli painting. The silence invites projection, allowing viewers to misread reality. A comment on the current times of misinformation and Ai. The artist reimagines a sweeter version where auctioneers are actually on the phone to each other, flirting. In stripping away context the artist blurs commerce and connection, playfully questioning what we see, what we want to believe, and what we secretly wish was true.

Velocity Denied, 6:55 mins

In this video work, the artist rollerblades across vast sand dunes, an act both futile and poetic. Designed for smooth, controlled surfaces, the rollerblades become dysfunctional tools in this shifting landscape, highlighting the absurdity of misapplied purpose. The work invites viewers to reconsider the objects that populate our lives and for their potential to be reimagined, displaced, and recontextualised. By treating the soft, unstable dunes as though they were concrete skate ramps, the artist draws attention to the tension between human design and nature, function and failure. The performance becomes a quiet meditation on adaptation, misuse, and the humour embedded in earnest attempts to impose structure on the uncontainable.

Man Walking, 2:57 mins

A Guatemalan man, dressed in the vibrant traditional garments typically worn by women, carries a woven basket through his village. The response is laughter and light hearted humour but not dismissive. Women giggle, not out of ridicule, but recognition. The video reveals the fixed roles of men and women in Guatemalan culture, and how the roles we inherit are at once performative and profound.

This playful inversion stirs ancient echoes of Tiresias, the mythic Greek seer who lived as both man and woman, cursed and enlightened. Like Tiresias, the man becomes a mirror, reflecting back the cultural weight of gendered labour and appearance. In disrupting visual norms, he doesn’t mock but magnifies: the grace in the everyday, the silent choreography of carrying, balancing, providing.

Humour becomes a portal, disarming resistance, inviting contemplation. The work suggests that identity, like myth, is less about fixed roles and more about passage, transformation, and the stories we agree to tell.

On Loop, 38 seconds

A looping dialogue is drawn from an interview about violence in the defence force. The repetition becomes ritual, a closed circuit of blame and survival. In this work, the voice is both weapon and wound, a sonic sculpture of gendered tension. Their exchange is not a conversation, but an echo chamber, a choreography of conditioned roles, looping endlessly like a metronome of societal denial. With each repetition, the camera zooms closer, compressing space, tightening focus, as if demanding we not just hear her words, but confront their truth more intimately, unavoidably.
