<     LOCKDOWN VIDEOS    >
During my silent dawn walks, I would often notice and record the incidental and
sometimes see within them a narrative inspiration for a poem, video or tableau. 


THE RAGGED BEAUTY OF THE DYING
Every day I passed a plastic sheet caught on a telegraph wire and recorded it slowly fall apart over several months. On some sunny days with a gentle breeze I would stand transfixed by its beauty, its liquid diaphanous movements quite hypnotic. There was a beautiful and imperfect melancholy to it, not unlike Japanese Wabi-Sabi (侘寂) or Hanami (watching falling blossom).

TREE OF HOPE
Bristol Downs
The tree is filled with messages of positivity about how people can overcome
the coronavirus pandemic with messages of sentiment and hope.
The colourful theme adds to the messages of positivity.


BLOSSOM WALTZ
My "American Beauty" moment watching a bag dancing with blossom.

TUMBLE - TIN
Rolling tin added a sense of desolation to the empty city during Lockdown

PINK CUP BALLET
The last dance of the  post-party cup at Lloyds Amphitheatre in Bristol. This area played host to numerous impromptu parties during Lockdown. 


EDWARD COLSTON'S
FINAL MARK

I was in the deserted Bristol Centre at dawn the day after Edward Colston's statue was thrown in the docks, I was able to photograph the many placards left around the plinth as well as recording the marks of the dragged statue. Both vanished soon after.

SKY SNAKE
During lockdown the skies were almost empty. I filmed this lone aircraft coming over Bristol, its vapour trail looking like a peculiar slow moving serpent

LEAF MOTH
This leaf caught in a spider's web gives the peculiar illusuion of being a moth.

BREAKING SURFACE
I spotted this beauty in Bristol Docks. Sometime you just get lucky with what leaps into the frame.

THE CORONA OF THE
LAST SUMMER CORONA

HELPLESS
This unlucky crow chick fell into the Brisol Docks between the vertical walls of the lock gates. Sadly I was unable to resue it.

GULLS IN TRAINING
The all women cross Atlantic eco rowing boat training at dawn in Bristol Docks on a rather beautiful morning
