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.
