An autobiographical video installation that is also an ode to all the women I have had the privilege of knowing. 

3mm clear perspex silhouette hanging before the wall at Dilston Gallery with projection running through it. 
This multi-layered installation consists of a projection that is mapped through a layer of clear perspex. The projection is made of various 3D-modelled characters that represent the various identities that exist within me. In these pictures, they are projected on the grungy, grade 2, listed walls of Dilston Gallery in Southwark Park. As the projection goes through the perspex to the wall, it casts a shadow of the silhouette that hangs before it – effectively creating three different silhouettes. Below is the video that was projected at Dilston Gallery as part of this installation.

 This work brings together identity and experience. It explores how, within the confines of our selves, our identities are mutable. The laser-cut perspex, it's shadow and the defined projection hold the various identities I embody. Their movements might suggest the roles they play in shaping me, and also the feelings each identity invokes for me. 
The projection through the clear perspex might suggest our movement in time with our multi-layered selves – and the shadow is that ethereal thing that connects all the different people we are, temporally. 
This installation has evolved from The Sentient Onions Project and is in fulfillment of the Venice Fellowship Programme of which I was a recipient.
