A boat and a train make their way through a series of animated landscapes. The film navigates between nature and industry, tracing the marks left by human presence. The landscapes are built from flour, sugar, coffee: materials which have an intrinsic transience, but at the same have a permanence in our culture and trade, and the echo of a colonial past.

My work begins as observation. I start with what I see and reveal its qualities: colour, rhythm, geometry, proportion. I create poetic reflections of the world around me. Within animation, I find ways to animate characteristics that are inherent in the materials used. My live-action films explore urban landscapes, including a Caracas shanty town (La Cancha, Venice Biennale of Architecture, 2006) and Erith (Erith, Prague Biennale, 2005). In Earthbound I play with the idea of natural and man-made landscapes being comparable in scale and emotional resonance. 
I work within multiple disciplines including animation, film, theatre, architecture and temporary installations. I created the Southwark Lido (London Festival of Architecture, 2008) in collaboration with EXYZT and edited the Southwark Lido book. I have also used film in theatre, in my own production of The Girls of May at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2003, and in Tim Hopkins' opera Elephant and Castle at the Aldeburgh Festival in 2006.
