I am currently working on stop motion animation 'Heirlooms'. 'Heirlooms' is about a group of children who are haunted by the ghost of Peg Prowler. Peg Prowler is a faceless ghost, with a bonnet for a head. This photograph show's Nixie killing a fly. This occurs in the first scene of 'Heirlooms'. Nixie writes in her journal, whilst sat at her dressing table. Nixie is distracted by a fly buzzing around the window, so she kills it with her journal. The journal is to be a recurring theme in 'Heirloom's. While at school James sees drawings of Peg Prowler in Nixie's journal. James is terrified, he had an encounter with Peg Prowler the previous evening. James steals the journal from Nixie's school bag and throws it in the local pond.

I create sculpture, animation, installations, drawings and sound pieces. For inspiration I look to: Susie Templeton, Kara Walker, Yuri Norstein, Hew Locke, Susan Hiller, Ruth Ringgold, Tove Jansson and Willard Wigan. I'm currently creating a stop motion animation 'Heirlooms', which is about a group of children who are haunted by the faceless ghost of Peg Prowler. The voyeuristic aspect of my work may stem from a childhood wish to gain access to restricted spaces (such as a hidden room in a dollhouse). My work involves the frustration of being prevented from fulfilling wishes, by only allowing glimpses of these inaccessible worlds. By creating intricate, small worlds I am suggesting the desire to retreat from something threatening like society. Yet I am also interested in the contradictions and conflict this inspires; it appears that by reducing the world to a small and repetitious environment you create a sense of safety, but perhaps all you are doing is internalising the initial threat. Images such as rats eating from dining room tables not only evoke feelings of disgust but of childish play. I am perhaps attempting to control fragile memories and perceptions of childhood built on cardboard foundations. The structures I create are deliberately unsecure, unsound, in order to summon up an atmosphere of unease, this is a fragile world that could topple down at any moment. Cardboard is also interesting to work with, as it is often viewed as a 'poor' material, only salvaged by the dispossessed.
