Series of photographs: A person completely painted white against a white or yellow/brown or black background. Smudged charcoal “tribal” markings - war paint or ritual - half-camouflaging the figure. Glares at camera. Some shots blurred from rapid movement. Classical marble statues juxtaposed with prehistoric body paint. Ur-hunter.
Series of photographs: A woman wearing the Crow Mask against a black background with suggestions of leaves. Lower arms and hands wrapped with coarse black material. Some shots with large shapeless black material, alternately used as skirt or cloak/hood. Naked underneath. Chiaroscuro lighting.
Short piece of video: Three costumed figures (Harlequinade? Commedia dell’arte?) dart between pillars in a baroque interior, filled with ornate chairs and gold-framed oil paintings. Then suddenly slow to half normal speed, then propelled into inhumanly fast. The figures’ relationship with time is different to ours. One’s face suddenly fills the screen, taking an interest in the camera, then flits away at unnatural speed.

I love, love the idea of number four. I did a degree in Classical Civilisation and a module on art in my first year.
