Pam’s Dream, video still, 2011.

These sinister depictions are presented with a sense of dark humour, creating an intricate balance so that the viewer feels both repulsion and compassion.By employing satire, I wish to extract an awkward laughter, to explore the tensions between what is funny and what is stark and confrontational.

Over the past year, I have departed from using self- transformation in my videos and employed amateur actors. I invite the actors to bring elements of their own personalities to the roles as a way of heightening the sense of awkwardness in my work. My most recent video, Pam's Dream (a remake of an episode of Dallas with child actors) established this new body of work.

The Male Epidemic (top left) is a news broadcast that follows the progress of a fatal disease that is wipping out the world's male population. The video features interviews with “experts” and one of the last living men.

Cuddle Group (top right) documents the work of Dr. Gerry Winecott, founder of touch-based therapy Cuddle Group. The revolutionary therapy is used to treat catatonics, agoraphobics, and those suffering from fears of intimacy, slowly introducing touch by use of small animals, and eventually Dr. Winecott's own body.

Imaginary Girlfriend (bottom) is based loosely on 1980s family sitcoms, and features a boy named Steven and his imaginary girlfriend Amanda. Steven is constantly tormented by Amanda, being asked to do things that leave him in embarrassing situations. Simultaneously, the video reveals the suffocating and inappropriate relationship between Steven and his mother.
