'Fissure' (2020) is the second in a series of video art pieces funded by the Emergency Response Fund from Arts Council England.
'Fissure' is a conceptual piece that explores the reconstructive nature of memory through the use of the triptych arrangement of archive film and the arrangement of a L/C/R audio configuration and how those devices affect a viewing persons ability to construct narrative between the three separate and narratively connected screens.
'Fissure' was influenced by the images contained within the purchased archive footage of a visit to Iceland during 1972 and the Silfra fissure that runs throughout the country's environment.

'The Carnival of the Animals' (2020) is a video art piece funded by Arts Council England Emergency Response Fund.
It is the third in a series that explores the reconstructive nature of memory. The Carnival of the Animals explores this through the processes of scanning and digitising the same reel of film multiple times under multiple conditions to produce different visuals of the same captured images, as well as the use of colour key editing to remove elements of the clearer images to allow the blurred imagery to bleed through.

'Where The Water Meets The Rocks' (2021) is the fourth video in a series that explores the reconstructive nature of memory.
'Where the Water Meets The Rocks' aims to show the artists view of how different recollections of the same event can arguably become altered due to a host of internal and external factors. This is done through the layering of reels of Super8 film of a holiday in Tintagel and Port Isaac that have been physically altered multiple times by using salt, window cleaner, bleach and hot water. Audio has been affected using digital delay, echo and reverb.
'Where The Water Meets The Rocks' was edited using Premiere Pro CS6.

旧金山 - 三藩市 - San Francisco is the fifth and final video in a series of video artworks that explores the reconstructive nature of memory.
The artist has done this through manipulating archive footage of San Francisco's Chinatown multiple times.
Strips of archive super8 film have been coated in paint and ink, spliced back together once dry and digitised. Once digitised, the same painted strips of film have been deconstructed, soaked in laundry detergent and window cleaner for two days, rinsed in bleach and hot water, dunked in cold water and spliced back together once dry and digitised once more.
The original footage, the painted footage and the bleached footage have been layered over each other in Adobe Premiere Pro CC, made opaque and edited in near-synchronisation in order to show the blurring permanent features of San Francisco's Chinatown as well as the cumulative changes made to the negative.
