A NOTE FROM FEBRUARY 2023 - -

This moving image work was made at a time when I wasn’t in an active state of research or making. In fact, I was feeling disillusioned with participating in what I’d understand now - and not then - to be the arts sector / industry.

I was in the wake of a concentrated period of research on Scotland’s stinkin involvement in Transatlantic Slave Trade. I had just finished my 4 year Undergraduate course: greatful for the access to reasources but worn down by racism. Creatively I was still alive i n s p i t e o f.

A was happy though. Happy to be out. Seen and seeing. Happy to be held.

IMAGE DESCRIPTION 6: Square black box tv sat on the floor in the corner of a light grey room on light grey floor boards (matching). On the screen is some kind of square image with yellows, greens, purples, blacks and browns. The image is very over exposed,
at parts blowing out.]
