Seven Dawns

Overview

Seven Dawns explores the restlessness inherited from the artist’s estranged Romani ancestry in South West England. The seven dawns symbolise fleeting opportunities for escape, framed within the duality of home as both sanctuary and confinement. Captured on a Super 8mm cartridge, using a hand made lens and developed by hand, the film’s fragmented, spectral imagery evokes the fractured nature of history, memory, longing and place.
