Art Exhibition

This autobiographical video art was selected for a group art exhibition – theme Fury! See exhibition details here:

Video Explanation

This 4K video art does not present fury for consumption, shock or entertainment. Instead, it acknowledges fury as something that often occurs hidden in improvised spaces – places people retreat to in order to remain functional in public life. By situating fury in a vehicle and allowing it to build and release like a steam train, the piece explores how fury can be recognised, felt and integrated.

The car is a private container where emotion can be released without negotiation or explanation. Emotions arrive before words – carrying the weight of experience and telling us what truly matters. Fury is not a loss of control but is a rational and necessary response to lived conditions – grief, exhaustion, systemic imbalance and repeated forms of letting go. The work asks the viewer to remain present with discomfort rather than resolve it.

Musical notes

Album artwork by @diz_qo

Both the audio and video sit alongside practices that embody lived experience over spectacle. They operate quietly together, insistently and without moral instruction.

Journal is a deeply personal sonic diary, capturing two years of spontaneous creation and exploration on synthesisers. Each track originates from a live improvisation built from unrehearsed, unedited performances where instinct shapes structure and emotion guides sound. These performances became a refuge—an immediate way to translate complicated feelings into sound.

Collaboration Alignment

I was invited to choose a track from this new experimental synth album, to create visuals for. I was already in the process of developing, into a single timeline – steam train footage and an art exhibition with the theme Fury. On a dreary day, I organised a shoot with my actress friend Agnese Miselli, to express fury inside a vehicle, deliberately situating the body within a familiar confined space. All the elements for this video art slotted organically into place.

Soundtrack – Record

The music on this video spoke to me immediately – I could imagine the momentum of steam trains and how they operate as a metaphor for surging emotions.

Made mainly using a Prophet Rev 2 synth with an expression pedal attempting to emulate the dynamics of an orchestra together with the arpeggiator built in layers similar to the process of painting in washes. ‘Record’ is a version of a piece from a soundtrack I created for Joanna Callaghan’s autobiographical film with the same title which traces her journey from Australia to the UK. The film traces the landscape of birthplace, exploring origins, history and where you are presently.
