              Simon decided to record Barry delivering a monologue exploring US imperialism and the project for the new American century. This speech became the focal point around which animation was constructed. "what Barry says" is very much a response to Simon witnessing his peer's apparent lack of interest in the anti-war marchers between the attack on Afghanistan and the second gulf war. Many young Londoners seemed to feel that they could do nothing to stop the attack on Iraq, so why bother

              Over two thirds of the world's cotton is grown in developing countries and the former Soviet Union. Valued at over $32 billion each year, global cotton production should be improving lives. But this “white gold” too often brings misery. EJF is committed to eradicating child labour and the deadliest pesticides from cotton production and promoting organic alternatives.

              Triggered by the memoirs of a medical missionary on the Afghan borderlands, this film is constructed from still photographs of colonial life on the North West frontier of British India at the turn of the 20th century. Searching for clues to the realities behind images framed during a time of colonial conflict, the film plays sound against image to find contemporary parallels in Western portrayals of a distant place and people.

              The Mouth screams. Like a shadow, it looms on the event horizon. It swells, hunting the night like a snake in the dark. The laceration tears through the stars, devouring its meal. Within the nothing swims something of a memory of movement. Far beyond, something out of the black reveals itself. In the infinite womb, limbs drift suspended, like flies in a giant spider web. An infinite sea of pale flesh. Bodies without organs. Death's renewal awaits, as the bodies pass through the void.

              The video You Went Back Again and Again, 2009 addresses the space of mourning and does this by looking at the registers of memory. The camera traverses with me to spaces that repeatedly explode with images I want to erase. A video installation, the work is an assemblage of images, text, sounds. Set within the overall narrative of a car journey to my father's grave and back, the work seeks to document the two years after the event. Believing strongly in a certain image of grieving this work sets out for me and the viewer an alternative. Conversations traverse from the incredulous to deep feelings of guilt, images from journeys explore the space of being nowhere and the self writes itself in words that cannot be strung together. Bodies don't exist in these spaces whole, neither of those who have passed nor of those who live to tell, to mourn. It testifies to what is left, the images, the knowing, the ifs and the buts.
