The film starts with the word SCREAM overlaid on footage of a games

platform. The text used is out moded and placed in the middle of the shot, with

letters following a yellow to pink gradient from top to bottom. The sound is

ambient and house music plays from the surrounding area. The camera moves

slowly up from being oriented towards the ground . The location that is revealed

is a game platform with an actor who is shooting a gun towards plastic chips

fastened to a wall. This shot continues for 3 minutes and then the shot switches

to a masked person walking through a crowd.



This work is a series of digital images of type written letters on notebook paper.

The letters are typed with black ink in typewriter courrier font. Hand drawn

redactions and drawings overlay the text. The redactions that occur in black ink

over the text take the form of insect like shapes that edit certain words of the

letter. Each letter contains various personal and prosaic information that the

writer is sending to the recipient. At the bottom of each letter there is a number

in the place where the signature or identity of the writer would be . This number

is typed in brackets.



The painting is 10 x 6 feet and is tacked to the walls using nails at the top of the

canvas. The canvas hangs loose on the wall and is not attached to a stretcher.

The edges have a 4 inch hem on the top, left and right side but not on the bottom.

The ground of the painting is a washy grey with many forms overlaying the

ground. The forms within the work occur as ameoba like, circular and linear

while following a compositional logic. The colour in forms varies from dark

muddy browns to orange, royal blue, white, purple and green. Textural elements

of the work are enhanced through the use of pastel and oil bar.
