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'.

Alongside: Short film about everyday life. Instinctive photography in response to the world around me, that which triggers my heart to value the way things are.

I also keep a diary, always have, always will.
