The meaning of your pieces is important - and there is a sense
of craftsmanship, Your work is intelligent rather than clever.
That's a nice
way of putting it, this is what I would hope. l am a traditional
girl, I have traditional ideas about colour and movement and dialogue.
I battle with the idea of play. I push the idea.
I will be doing a virtual residency at furtherfield. It's so great,
I was not able to do this before. It has opened new doors, it's
just great.
It's a new
concept for the Internet
I hope that
concept is taken up really quick, it could be an amazing thing -
especially for artists with disabilities. The residency will build
on my interest in video. I want to centre it on a poem by Mac Dunlop
on furtherfield, its called "lying ally"; its fantastic,
I could just listen to it. It's got this voice that comes out of
silence and it has got this wonderful quality, and again he talks
about the click, click, click and he asks, " Is this the first
noise?" Yes give this to me!! Its gonna be the start and I
am into the idea of net-film, a kind of installation with video
and sound, its like a take over of images. I can't wait to use it.
Everything I will be doing is gonna come out from just that one
poem, its got so many treads coming off it.
I am excited
about the furtherfield residency. l like playing with other people's
stuff I can borrow some of their language and find my ground in
it. I like that.

You become
a collector.
Yes, I love
this idea of this emotional take-over bit of someone else's work.
I will be speaking with their voices, I will be borrowing their
work.
You are like
a medium.
Yes, that will
help me find my voice. That's gonna be big fun.
