SALT - dual 16mm film (15 mins) 2018
with sound composed by Rohan Drape
SALT combines footage of a vast pink salt lake in northern Victoria with footage of home-grown salt crystals and collections of other natural forms, such as dead coral and seeds. Filmed in close-up and rhythmically re-photographed, the film emphasises the warm tones and textures of the crystal structures of the minerals as well as an environment which, millions of years ago, housed an inland sea.

I often leave accidental fingerprints on my films. These leave behind incidental artifacts – brief flashes of white or black that record my tactile engagement with the film during the printing and editing process.
‘Opaquing’ extends and magnifies those accidents into something more purposeful. Using black ink and clear film I catalogued details and textures of my thumbs, hands and fingerprints; run through the projector, the rapid succession of prints become rhythmic, animated and abstracted.

A film examining cohabitation and the everyday bodily functions and grooming rituals of a shared home.
Using my rayogrammed hair as a mask, I assembled glimpses of private moments of my partner and I in our apartment, resulting in an abstract yet slightly voyeuristic portrait of a couple's shared life.
