Story board ideas for the the final scene of 'Heirlooms'. Twins Nixie and Faye are disturbed by something while they are sleeping. They wake up to discover the ghost of Peg Prowler brushing her hair at their dressing table. Nixie and Faye get out of bed and start brushing Peg Prowler's hair. In an earlier scene at the school there is a sighting of Peg Prowler. Nixie finds Peg Prowler's glove on the ground and takes it home with her. In the final scene of the 'Heirlooms' Faye returns Peg Prowler's glove. Up until this point Peg Prowler has been a faceless ghost with a bonnet for a head. In this scene her bonnet is removed and Peg Prowler has a face with no features. The film ends when Peg Prowler slowly grows a mouth and smiles. Work in progress.

I create sculpture, animation, installations, drawings and sound pieces. For inspiration I look to: Susie Templeton, Kara Walker, Yuri Norstein, Hew Locke, Susan Hiller, Ruth Ringgold, Tove Jansson and Willard Wigan. I'm currently creating a stop motion animation 'Heirlooms', which is about a group of children who are haunted by the faceless ghost of Peg Prowler. The voyeuristic aspect of my work may stem from a childhood wish to gain access to restricted spaces (such as a hidden room in a dollhouse). My work involves the frustration of being prevented from fulfilling wishes, by only allowing glimpses of these inaccessible worlds. By creating intricate, small worlds I am suggesting the desire to retreat from something threatening like society. Yet I am also interested in the contradictions and conflict this inspires; it appears that by reducing the world to a small and repetitious environment you create a sense of safety, but perhaps all you are doing is internalising the initial threat. Images such as rats eating from dining room tables not only evoke feelings of disgust but of childish play. I am perhaps attempting to control fragile memories and perceptions of childhood built on cardboard foundations. The structures I create are deliberately unsecure, unsound, in order to summon up an atmosphere of unease, this is a fragile world that could topple down at any moment. Cardboard is also interesting to work with, as it is often viewed as a 'poor' material, only salvaged by the dispossessed.
