I appear to have created a character but I am reluctant to explain too much about her. I don’t think she is of this time. I think she is a traveller. Between civilized and savage, woman and child.

Is she me? Who is ‘me’, anyway?

She plays out and repeats scenarios, situations, actions. She is very busy, she has much to do. Is it play or is it labour? She lies in wait to watch magic flirt with the physical, drawn in by the sensual and sexual side of materials.

Sometimes she works in front of a camera. But I don’t think she knows that she is being watched.
