Using a digital SLR, image capture software and a hidden video camera \u201970 Still Frames and 5 Minutes and 50 Seconds of Video\u2019 highlights how much we simply don\u2019t see when encountering someone\u2019s photographic reproduction and underlines how problematic photography can be as a representative medium.

\nThis piece touches on themes of intimacy, memory and desire using a short monologue about an anonymous sexual experience.
\nA fractured voice-over is counterpointed with images drawn from archive films showing the x-raying of the shoulder and the formation of clouds and weather systems.

Selfportrait, 3:27, 2005
\nThe sense of claustrophobia and containment is held whilst a woman puts her make up on and gets ready for her day. The surprise is revealed as she leaves her own space.

\nWhich Came First? (Chicken and Egg), 2009, 2:08
\nsees a glamourous harpy engaged in a sexual re-stuffing. Inspired partly by the grotesque ‘two bodies in one’ from Medieval Carnival, the film enacts a perverted cookery programme\/bondage pornography.

As part of my interest in examining the production processes that go into the creation of art, both it’s physical manifestation and public consumption, I made this video to explore the question of an artists public identity\/persona and how the artist may try to influence its construction in an effort to improve their professional success.

\n\u201cReigning Cats and Dogs\u201d, 2007, 15:00<\/p>\n

Reigning Cats and Dogs is the title of a video work recorded in the artist\u2019s family home in rural Co. Wexford, Ireland in December 2006. The fifteen-minute video work contains various recordings that frame mini incidents involving the family pets. Filmed from the animal\u2019s perspective, each fixed-frame shot portrays a domestic-styled wildlife documentary where animals co-exist, share and interact in a house full of humans and other animals. Each recording was made at different times and stages of the day and so allows the viewer to witness the calm and chaotic rhythms which exist in the daily household routine. <\/p>\n

In each section the viewer is invited into a world in which we see cats fight while feeding to a dog performing tricks, which go unnoticed by humans too busy watching television. This work documents the age-old relationship between animals and humans and explores their personal and shared territories within this domestic environment.

Video title:
\nAgain & Again (1:00) 2003
\nIn Lee Welch\u2019s series of self-portraits, Again and Again, we encounter what appears to be a straightforward record taken with a digital camera of the artist\u2019s face over a period of months. Through a rapid sequence of images, we find ourselves entranced by a face, most notably its changing hair, an affect of style that fluctuates between drastic and more subtle stages of cutting, dying, shaving, gelling. On one level it is a simple game, one of recognition and repetition, where we quickly learn to spot the difference. On another level, what manages to be fun is also a crisis in representation that leads to questions about identity, coherence and technology that are at the heart of Welch\u2019s project. Here, digital photography in its rapid reiterations, employs a technology of cyber fantasies, genetic engineering and multiple identities that tells us nothing of the subject it represents. We are left with only a superficial awareness of a person, a self-portrait that collapses external changes with time.<\/p>\n

Video title:
\nLosing the Light, 2009, 5.39
\nThe candle is a weighted metaphor. A piece of visual culture which all at once signifies light and darkness, birth and death, hope and despair. The hopeful simplicity of light can quickly be plunged into the unknown complexity of darkness. And yet, without darkness, light loses all effect.
\nThis work employs the strength of the candle\u2019s cultural meaning. At a time when the the \u2018audacity of hope\u2019 is presented as a term for human aspirational strength in times of immense despair, this work tests that bravery against the persistent depth of loss.
