Moving Stills, a series of digitally produced montages printed alternately on photographic paper and transparent acrylic sheet, created using still frames grabbed from video footage of lower body movement, stepping, turning and the placing of feet.

By isolating and repeating the captured stills, body motions are analysed frame by frame until they appear like storyboards articulating an action, or a roll of film on transparent material. Other over-layed frames appear as a movement caught in slow motion.

By utilising the interlaced character of the captured still, lines of the performer’s body image and the setting of the mirrored dance studio merge together, creating an indistinct image of depth and movement and place, akin to our own fleeting perception of self within a space. The viewpoint alternates between that of the performer - downwards towards her own feet - to that of an objective spectator, looking from alongside.

In this new set of photographs, we see the artist further extending her interest and investigations into kinaesthesia - sensation of movement - within the boundaries of a still image.

Whilst the layers, textures, rhythms and materiality of the wooden floors, the leather shoes, skin and fabric apparent in Moving Stills also recall her installation work, examining the very ‘stuff’ contributing to our experience of ‘being here’.
