I'm Feeling Bleached
Spinach Collective, WASPS, Edinburgh - January 2007
I'm Feeling Bleached' is a piece of performance art which may be developed into a piece of theatre, it stems from the distinct belief we have as children that anything is possible and how we tragically lose this in adulthood as our memories bleach and fade.  With contributions from the audience, this interactive piece revealed the frailty of a happy thought but its undeniable value when it truly makes you smile.  This piece was influenced by J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, the psychoanalytic concept of Tabula Rasa and by personal memories.

Sandcastles Only Crumble
Spinach Collective, WASPS, Edinburgh - January 2007This short film is the result of a collaboration between Spinach artists Jenna Watt and Matthew Vale.  It follows a journey from the chaotic and cluttered lives we all lead to the clear and stretching horizons we desire.

Bench

Bench was a durational piece of performance art, performed in Stockbridge.  With the use of polaroids, it investigated the notion of non-places and how these spaces affect our thinking.
