View from the 'ghosts of Borley' exhibition. I filmed footage of rats inside the cardboard house. The video footage of the rats was placed next to it. This suggested that the rats could still be inside the house. I was amazed at how many people were worried that the rats were in the house somewhere. 'The lights are on but there's no one home'. The house had lighting, not only to invite the viewer in but to suggest human presence. The roof of the house was rigged up with sound. This was an ambient sound recording with crashes and distorted voices. The hand drawn wallpaper hung on the gallery walls was based on one of the designs used in Borley Rectory. Borley Rectory has been considered 'the most haunted house in England.' Many strange events were said to have occurred there such as the ghostly apparitions, automatic writing, sounds, and smells.

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.
