  • Bitcoin Boi

    Bitcoin Boi

    Part modern fairy-tale, part sales pitch for a new crypto utopia, this Newport-grown story explores themes of grief, hope, and the true price of the dreams that we are sold.
    The play features songs composed by Dyfan Jones with lyrics from Catherine Dyson, heavily inspired by 80s, early 90s style electro music.

    I created ‘in-game’ graphics, drawing on nostalgia and a mix of 16-bit and early polygon era video games for the aestheic of the video elements in the show.

  • Late Night Final, Visual Album

    Late Night Final, Visual Album

    I worked with J. Willgoose, Esq of Public Service Broadcasting to create a visual elements to his debut solo album, Late Night Final. Produced over 2020 using analogue instruments, he wanted to create videos for each track that felt as though they were crafted along aside the music.
    Using Video synthesizer software and VJ performance tools, I created the videos by building live mixes of the video synthesizer output on top of each other to create an otherworldly depth and atmosphere.

  • Group Listening. The Dog

    Group Listening. The Dog

    Video for ‘The Dog’ by Group Listening.

    Set amongst the brutalist architecture of Cwmbran, as an homage to the utopian visions of any new town built through 1960’s and 70’s Britain. Such places were a promise of the future, but through the 80’s and 90’s often became run down and depressed and their architecture dispararged. This video aims to recapture some of the understated beauty of the stark concrete buildings that characterised such development by presenting a space that is perhaps out-of-time without any clear purpose – both at odds with nature whilst being part of the social landscape.
    And there’s a dog.

  • How to be Brave

    How to be Brave

    What could we achieve if only we harnessed the power of the stardust and supernovas within us?

    Determined that her young daughter will never lose the powerful, fierce magic she arrived into the world with, Katie sets off on a mission to create an instruction manual titled, How To Be Brave.

    This brand-new, one-woman play follows Katie’s journey as she rides her BMX around Newport to find what she’s really made of. By listening to the unheard voices of the city itself, she begins to question what the women who have gone before can teach her about how to be brave in this confusing, quick-changing world we live in.

  • Noctule

    Noctule

    A special commission from Peak for the Green Man Festival 2016

    Farm Hand the solo project of Mark Daman Thomas (member of Islet and founder of Shape Records) collaborated with artist Stefhan Caddick who works in video, installation and performance. The pair created a new, site-specific live performance called Noctule, taking place underground in Eglwys Faen (Stone Church), a cave on the Llangattock Escarpment, three miles from the Green Man festival site. The piece responded to the unique acoustics, history and habitat of the cave system – one of the biggest in Europe and home to a colony of Lesser Horseshoe bats.
