'Between Us' (2018) Taken from the 'Twenty' project

HD Digital video projection, 2 mins, continuous loop 

The ‘Twenty’ project (2017-18) serves as a reflection upon the artist’s long term relationship with her partner in the light of his treatment for heart failure Shot a year on from his treatment, ‘Between Us’ (2018) is a celebration of his recovery, whilst recognising his vulnerability, viewed through a female gaze. 

Based on the poem, ‘Loving You’ by Frances Horovitz, this black and white video acts as an intimate love letter to her partner, comprised of twenty-one photographs to signify their twenty-one years spent together. Indeed, the sense of intimacy and familiarity is implicit – “I could mark you through to the bone”, signalled by the fluidity of the dissolving images - “you know me as fish knows fish in tide”.
