sky, sea, city

2020
sky, sea, city is a video made in 2020, responding to the history of the land around my family home (an old clay pit) in London and the family history I was discovering through letters, photographs and other documents in the house that had belonged to my grandfather. My mother was only just beginning to sort through them, and stories were shared. Fragmented stories told to me as a child by my grandfather, stories told to her, stories experienced.
Fragmented memories, inconsistencies, delayed grief, and always the Thames. The Thames that runs through the city - a lifeline, a vein, an escape, a relief.
