Bellows of a Church Shaped Hall
2020

A figure is confronted by an incomprehensible entity, and so, they dance. 

 

As the first waves of the pandemic broke across the world in 2020 the artist was living alone in a haunted cottage with little budget and no tripod. As all plans and goals for the year fell away, Bellows of a Church Shaped Hall (2020) emerged frame by frame as an examination of existential and intangible threat.

 

Featuring a score recorded on site by long time collaborator Gemma Notara and the dance of Caroline Ellis, all elements of this film were made over the three months the artist lived in residence at Montsalvat Arts Centre.
