| About the Artist |
|
Part of the defence of ourselves as searchers for the elemental, the natural and universal, is the sense of our experience of the ephemeral, the esoteric. My video work explores the interplay between music, narrative and image, often creating a dream-like state, or an idealized view of the subject. The sound and music elements trigger an emotional response to the work, in parallel with transformations of objects or landscapes, to reveal hidden meaning. Each video is constructed to achieve a multi-layered flux. Ian’s films have been screened at various festivals, galleries and events in the UK and Europe. Ian’s compositions include orchestral and vocal music and soundtracks for short films. Ian’s music for an imaginary film version of Thomas Mann’s novel Tonio Kröger was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in 2001. Commissions and performances include Meta-Flight a work for clarinet, violin, cello & piano for the Greenbelt Festival. In 2003 Cloud Garden for vibraphone & strings, was selected for inclusion, on the 2003-2006 Society for the Promotion of New Music shortlist. This score is now included in the British Music Information Centre collection in London, now part of soundandmusic.org

| The Elephant and The Ship (2008)
|
|
|
(Duration: 00:04:50)
Creation myths from India form the central theme of this film. These myths describe how Heaven and Earth were created by a Divine being, from the two halves of a broken egg. In this film the ship is a symbol of man's voyage through life and the elephant is associated with memory and mortality. The ship sails on in search of answers to questions about the land and sky, the sea and stars.

| Monet's Dream (2008)
|
|
|
(Duration: 00:02:45)
Monet’s greatest challenge lay in capturing the essence of a fleeting moment such as the light and reflections on water. As his vision failed in later years, the image on the retina was now only a starting point. Monet's Dream was commissioned by Creamer and Lloyd (art in business facilitators) for an event in 2008. The brief was to produce a short film with original music initially based on the concept of a particular fragrance.

| The Journey Home (2006)
|
|
|
(Duration: 00:04:27)
A boat journey takes an unseen traveller into a mysterious world, back to a desired homeland. Filmed inside the 'Grotta Azzura' (Blue Grotto) on the Island of Capri and in Venice. The video contains transformed still and moving images from the interior of the cavern. Other elements include an image of the 'Ponte dei Sospiri' (Bridge of Sighs) in Venice, which is a reference to the idea of crossing from one world to another. The bridge is dislocated from its usual surroundings and appears ghost-like hovering above an open sea. The narrative within this video points towards a journey and the text of the vocal music implies a communication with nature. 'When will the wind know my name? Hold up my hands to the sky. When will the prophets be heard? Show them the dark, closer now.' Another element within this work, is the presence of several illuminated figures (prophets) enacting an unknown narrative of their own.
