Channelling (To Dwell Underneath the Ground) is a video work that reinterprets and re-entangles myth and folklore through the materiality of coal and its absences.

With thanks to Allan Armstrong and family and the National Coal Mining Museum for permitting the 3D scanning of Armstrong's coal carvings, held in the NCMM archive.
