Flora

Buttercup petals, wild garlic and cranesbill flowers, forget-me-not florets and the seeds blown from a dandelion clock, collected during a walk around the inner city of Plymouth. In the studio, these transient plant forms were pressed onto clear strip of recycled 35mm film. The animated imagery is accompanied by a sound design created from field recordings, including the cheeping of a hundred sparrows, found huddled in a wall of ivy on a sunny spring afternoon.

35mm film with stereo sound, 1 minute
