Family Ties: Recollection and Representation, University of London (8th & 9th March 2012)

As a visiting fellow (2011-2012), I am organising an interdisciplinary conference exploring the representation and role of family memories in autobiographical writing, photography and artist’s film and video in association with the Centre for the Study of Cultural Memory, Institute of Germanic and Romance Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London. The scheduled keynote speaker's are Professor Marsha Meskimmon (Loughborough University) and the photographer and therapist, Rosy Martin. The event will open with the artist filmmaker, Sarah Miles in conversation with Dr. Lucy Reynolds and the screening of her film, '2001-A Family Odyssey: Ophelia's Version' (2002). The closing date for receipt of registration is 24th February 2012.

Translucence

I am currently working on a new body of still and moving image works, which investigates my experience of illness, death and loss, serving as a reflection on the fragility of life. I will be interpreting a selection of tracks from Donna McKevitt’s musical score Translucence (Warner Classics, 1998), based on the poetry and writing of Derek Jarman.
