I was really chuffed to be asked by Nat Lyon recently to speak about my pinhole photographs for Experimental Trash. I have been a big fan of his show and his music for a few years now.. Experimental Trash is a radio program produced for CAMP (an artist residency in the French Pyrenees), podcast and blog, that focuses on the creative processes of artists, writers, and musicians. It always has a beautiful lo-fi vibe, and I really love the way he presents his interviews, removing his own voice and letting the answers just hang there, disjointed. We talked about photography, time, sounds in the woods, sense of place, cameras, my ill-thought out purchase of a theremin.. and all the sounds throughout this episode are derived from fragments of the conversation and field recordings I sent that Nat has looped and modified and embellished, including my ums and maybes and two notes I played on the concertina that he has added bass and piano to in a kind of duet.
The show went out on CAMP Radio last Wednesday (27.11.24) and the field notes and replay for the show are now up on the Experimental Trash blog (Episode 55)

In other news, I’m really pleased to have this piece in the Winter Show at Orleans House Gallery alongside 48 other local artists. This was one of the first pinhole photographs I took earlier this year, and the one that sparked the idea for the residency project.
“Motion Picture” - pinhole photograph silver print, unique 1 of 1 on fibre-based paper with caption that reads “Listening to ‘No Motion Picture’ for 15 minutes, 11.04.24”
The show runs 30 November 2024 – 2 February 2025, 10am-5pm, Free - Orleans House Gallery, Orleans Road, Twickenham, TW1 3BL
