tectum argenti (2023)

A meditation on the process of therapeutic healing through reconnecting with the self in nature. Internal and external landscapes intertwine in an assemblage of fractured but interconnected poetic gestures, multiple exposures, textural images and abstract marks made onto the surface of the film. Hand-dyed with turmeric, washed in tea, wine and blackberry juice, tumbledried, painted, cut into, scratched and spliced, dust and hair cling to the skin of the celluloid.
