In 2013 I worked on power stations, on my breaks I would go take photographs. These Photos are the foundations of my project 'Voices of Coal', an immersive documentary in development.
The project tackles concepts of deep time, energy, intergenerational storytelling, human finitude, all while paying homage to mining past and livelihoods built around coal.
With this project I have received generous development support through workshops with Live Cinema UK, CULTVR, Mediale and Alexander Whitley Dance studio. I have also most recently been chosen by XR Stories as an Artist in Residence to continue work in motion capture and experimental recording.
I want to thank the Time Network, at University of Leeds for their generous funding to support the experimental sounds made in the Geosciences lab, extracting voices from coal more can be read about this here
