Selected Exhibitions and Screenings (2016 - present)

Chosen Terrain (2024)

Group show at Falmouth Art Gallery with Cornwall-based artists Neil Canning and Mark Surridge, featuring new abstract paintings by both artists that celebrate their joint interest of the Cornish landscape and the concerns they have with the environment and climate change.

“They have been accompanied on their recent walks by filmmaker Rachael Jones who has been invited to join the dialogue and present her own perspective in a new film commissioned for the exhibition”.

I was also commissioned to work with Splanna, the gallery's Earth Justice Art Youth Group, to lead workshops and make a film that documented their residency at Loveland. The exhibition included four collages and two soundscapes that presented my interpretation of the artists’ concerns as entangled with those landscapes.

Embodied Landscapes (2024)

Culmination of doctoral research practice, exhibiting thesis extracts (diagrams, collages and films) at Grays Wharf, Penryn.

Spill (2023)

Produced for Flamm, a new visual art festival that for its pilot year was based in Redruth and held across various spaces around the town, Spill was an experimental film installation staged at Auction House amidst the ongoing renovations, offering a unique opportunity to encounter work in an unrepeatable state. The installation consisted of two interacting projections that could be scored using a selection of object-instruments made by artist Olivia Brelsford-Massey.

The only thing more slippery than the elbow (2022)

Group exhibition at Auction House, Redruth, showing two short films.

Participants from the 2019 Cornwall Workshop come back together after the pandemic interrupted several attempts at a reading group. Following on from ideas and conversations that began at the residency, led by artist Andy Holden, they are making work that falls between the eerie suspended seeping state they find themselves in. Process and conversation, hyper objects and second bodies have informed the work and there is no going back.

Sensory St Ives (2021)

An intergenerational project commissioned by Tate St Ives, featuring collaboration and conversations (remote and in-person) between Sensory Trust and Redruth School.

Screened at Tate St Ives December to January 2022 as part of their archive season, curated by Melanie Stidolph.

A Film for Brickfield (2021)

A research film document made for Brickfield as part of the Whitegold Project featuring John Osborne, the last brickmaker to fire the last brick at Wheal Remfry brickworks near Fraddon, St Austell in 1971.

Screened at AirSpace Gallery as part of the British Ceramics Biennial 2021.

Penzance Independent Shops (2020)

Specially commissioned by Newlyn Art Gallery & the Exchange for group exhibition, Hippo Campus, Penzance Independent Shops celebrates the knowledge, craft and skills held by independent shopkeepers in Penzance. It serves as a reminder to slow down and learn locally.

Thinking is Progress (2019)

Created for SCENES, a group exhibition curated by Naomi Frears for The Picture Room at Newlyn Art Gallery.

Three stills feature from Thinking is Progress, a film created using found and personal archives. The film is comprised of a redacted letter from an irritating former partner alongside images of the distant past.

BAIT - behind the scenes (2018)

A behind the scenes short film of Mark Jenkin’s award winning BAIT, containing interviews with the director about his process and the importance of craft.

Made with the support of the School of Film and Television at Falmouth University and entirely shot and hand processed using Super8 film.

Tracing Granite (2018)

Tracing Granite documents a four-day Groundwork field trip that took place in October 2017, taking its participants (geologists, artists, cultural geographers and writers) on a tour of the six granite districts in Cornwall and Devon.

“Tracing Granite is a meditative experimental documentary that is thought-provoking and formally daring.”
– Dr Neil Fox, The Cinematologists
