I find value in having conversations with people. It’s where my practice begins. Talking to individuals and hearing their stories, learning about life through their experiences. 

Recently, I’ve been using film as a way to explore discussions with British Veterans. Learning about the challenges they face during and after service. Recordings of these conversations become a guide while collecting footage of the landscape to accompany their voices. 

I navigate the site in the same way I do their stories, waiting for unexpected moments which uncover opportunities to listen. I appreciate finding ways to capture a pause in their sentence, or stutter in their speech. The final film provides a chance to slow down, to listen closely, and consider the story being told.
