Tessa Garland is in the spotlight today

I originally trained as a sculptor but for many years my work has been preoccupied with the moving image. Cinematic language allows me to explore and create places by piecing and layering together footage of journeys through spaces. I tend of focus on a place, landmark or idea and work with it over a long period of time, allowing it to grow in significance. I often build scale models to help me to understand and focus on my subjects, this preparatory work is filmed and reworked digitally to create short inserts that are collaged and layered together. Sound is vital to the work and once meshed with the imagery form atmospheric, often dreamlike work that is reminiscent of a memory or a premonition.
