Split Horizon

Overview

Split Horizon is an optically printed 16mm impressionistic handmade film. Using found home movies and travel films from the 1960s, I respond to the material through collage, painting and abstraction directly onto film, aiming to create a psychological traversal across a vast unknown. Landscape acts as a basis for exploration, and characters emerge and descend, representing the self or the other. The onscreen horizon is often literally split; the characters and places become a mirror for one another, meditating on our own ability to contain multiple versions of self, identity and internal narratives about our own stories, paths and histories.
