In this set of works I have been incorporating the use of lens based media. I wanted to capture the thought process of dealing with everyday life in an urbanised environment, in search of solitude. I recorded a video whilst cycling through Ipswich town centre on my bike, a journey which always agitates me. I am constantly met with barriers of society, whether it is people, glances, traffic.
The other video I recorded was cycling through the forest at Rendlesham, a place where I always escape to when it all becomes too much. The deserted, peaceful location contrasts with the busy town centre video. I changed the speed of both videos so the forest video was slowed down, and the town video was fast forwarded. I projected these videos on top of each other, I thought this effect showed the inner battle I feel I am fighting between the two world, with the urbanised world slowly taking over.
