Say It, I'm Not Angry Anymore - ANGER

I guess it is something which I might have foreseen... Maybe, not really sure as the only thing I can think about happened after I shot this piece last summer. While still going trough the vigorous post production and sound design stages I'm feeling pretty nervous about my first attempt to exhibit a video and sound installation. Ireland seems to be the perfect place as the Photo Ireland Festival is taking off and growing bigger each year. Thanks to Block T Gallery this is all coming together.

Shot the day before I flew to North West America on a separate month long protect, we worked hard for all the shots. Filmed at 2000 fps I wanted to capture the emotion so quick and short while relaying it as a still prolonged moment of this dramatic act. The blurb is here http://2011.photoireland.org/program/anger/ and regardless of concepts the crew and production who worked on it were mighty, thank you.

Say It... "I'm Angry And I'm Not Going To Take It Any More!"

As I get called back to the motherland to show some new work I think of how much things progressed since I left. I also feel grateful as I still refer to the motherland as being the first place I was inspired and realised what was out there past the Ocean and rolling hills (it has taken me a while to realise how important). No matter what I say Ireland has played the biggest part in my adventure and I touch on the nostalgic moments far too often to let it go unnoticed and unregarded. Good work or not, I want to show her what I have learned and how I have grown into something even I couldn't mold by my self. The natural development of a grown mans aesthetic and point of view that has changed allot over the 6 (ish) years baffles me again and again.

If only my spelling had improved, thank goodness for spell check.

Stills form "Anger", an instillation shot last year. Filmed at 1000fps - 2000fps in Hackney innit!!!
