| dc.description | Drawing from the synaesthetic and multisensory nature of the work, place and colour are highly significant research imperatives in all the videos to both locate and provoke. For example Gothic Night showcases the grade 1 listed medieval murals at Piccotts End: ‘We’ll never know who painted these beautiful things… these glorious images.’ (Prof. Simon Schama: 2015). The images are a freak survivor having been covered under multiple layers of linen and wallpaper for nearly 500 years. Their complexity and design is combined with the use of hyper-real colour, monocolour and monochrome in the cinematography to reflect the full sensorial and conscious world, and the compromised consciousness of amnesia. Reception: British pianist Ian Jones (Professor, Royal College of Music) has described A New Day as: 'So beautiful and touching, and clever, and perfect. You've achieved the holy grail of hidden, careful craftsmanship resulting in that elusive sense of simplicity.’ [I. Jones 2017] | |
