‘Still Breathing’ 2006 looped video

Projected looped video. Self portrait photograph videoed from above. I placed a bubble gum bubble over my grimacing face. (a pose borrowed from a face yoga book, mouth open exercise, to assist with facial muscle balance) I videoed the bubble as it deflates. It plays backwards and forwards in a loop, the bubble blowing up and down.

she made went un-noticed’

samples from ‘Making a world of a difference’ 2004 photos & text pieces.

An unseen character places everyday objects from around the house in ‘other’ environments
- a framed picture, an iron, a scissors for example.

The displaced household objects rephotographed around my present home in 2022 by me.
