Things That Start Slowly

Summary This film triptych consists of images of ships, a baby, and two women first in early pregnancy, and then later at nine months. The women move continuously, carefully repositioning themselves in relation to the screen and each other. Running through the work is a pervading sense of loss; a restless tension between things that remain, and things that disappear over time. The work took two years to develop and was a response to the premature end of the film maker's first pregnancy. It is a reflective work that looks at the process of finding a sense of permanence and stability after experiencing loss of this kind. View more details
