anne quail



My work to date has consisted mainly of video performance. I have been using my body to deal with issues of unnatural human behaviour in seemingly natural environments. I have attempted to turn private actions to the public view and reverse feeling of displacement onto the viewer through the way I project image and sound. My work often takes the form of being visually poetic, with associations of spirituality and desire for Otherness. I often use this thematic to enhance the sense of psychological space that I wish to create. I think it is important that my work be experienced, physically first, with meanings, connotations and associations to come after.
