Last July I was invited by the amazing Talking Birds () for a hatching residency at The Nest for 10 days. I went in with one ‘sort of’ idea and came out with another! It was brilliant to build on my time in Sweden with looking over my drone footage and sound recordings. My mentor session with was invaluable and has led me to exploring different vehicles for expression; such as poetry! I went for walks with my cameras looking at my relationship with nature. Who’d have thought slugs making babies was such a beautiful image..!

I was suffering a lot at the time with Lyme Disease so coming in each day looked to be quite a challenge. However, have an amazing ethos when it comes to access needs and I was able to take it at the pace I needed. This included being relaxed about start and finish of the day, having a rest area in my room where I could nap and giving me space without pressure for sharing an outcome. I believe this time was a pivotal point for me with my recovery. Huge thanks to 🧡🧡

Looking forward to sharing more soon about where this journey is taking my work.

My first freelance film job came from a chap called Paul Warwick back in 2012. I had just moved to the Midlands and had no idea that this first job in theatre would lead to a life-long love of the arts, let alone a whole bunch of work + friendship!

Through China Plate I’ve had the pleasure of filming Chris Thorpe and many many more.

So grateful for the 12 year working relationship with Paul, Ed and the team at China Plate Theatre 🙌🏻❤️ and to all the artists I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Here’s to many more exciting collaborations.
