Moving between the real and the imagined, her films explore art’s capacity to reflect and transform our surroundings. Through interweaving observations of the landscape and playful studio experiments, familiar settings, objects and materials are explored and re-interpreted using everyday objects and cinematic devices.
‘In life I am drawn towards observing people’s hands – the delicacy with which a material or object is handled, the way that a pencil is held and a line drawn. For me these gestures express the possibilities of (internal) creative dialogue and intimacy. That the line gets drawn and an object or form appears remains a source of continued excitement. Many of my films are enquiries into cinema’s capacity to both represent and transform the world around us. I remain fascinated by the magic of the moving image and its capacity to frame, capture and create implicit and explicit narratives.’ Lucy Harris 2023
