Mass Observation Artist

I have been invited to make an artwork in response to the Mass Observation Archives, based at the University of Sussex in Brighton. I plan to make a film about observation with an original piano score that I am composing. This work will hopefully be exhibited at the Jubilee Library, Brighton in May 2010, as part of the conference, 'New Perspective on Mass Observation'.

Artist Residency: Mansfield Road Community Centre, Essex

I am currently artist in residence at Mansfield Road Community Centre for People with Mental Health Difficulties, based in Ilford, Essex. I am working in collaboration with the Community Centre’s Music Group that takes place weekly, making a short film about their experiences and the music they make. Service users are working with me in the making of the film, including camera operation, voice over and creative direction. The film produced will be screened at the Centre, uploaded onto the Community Centre website and DVDs will be made for all involved. For more information please visit: www.mansfieldroad.org.uk
