Installed on the alter in Holy Trinity Church, States of Change comprises a series of films shot in and around the church before a major re-development project begins. As the buildings are pulled down around the church, the exhibition presents moments that evoke both nostalgia and anticipation.
The sound of the tower Pendulum is projected in to the church, implying the buildings constant presence while the city below changes with each moment acknowledged. The central film records the clock mechanism present in the tower, and the surrounding images capture the minutiae and essence of a place that has been lost to time.

Two plinths, constructed out of two old doors, sit site-specifically as items of furniture within the Cathedral’s Nave. Apertures, situated in the top of the plinths, provide the only access to the films presented within, visible only to the inquisitive viewer.
The focal point in this series of recorded moments is the many doorways situated within the Cathedral. Visitors are captured moving in and out of this sacred space; the camera positioned so that only their feet are visible. This archive of transient movement creates an ambiguous work, which is open to the individual and their own conceived level of spiritualism.

Hi - I’ve just been to see the exhibition at Holy Trinity. It was interesting to move from the solemnity of the church to the outside and witness the actual demolition taking place - nice juxtaposition!
