“home, if you’ll still have me”
A film and poetic reflection on the shifting meaning of what and who is home. Finding out what we long for, what we leave behind, and what we find within ourselves. A reflection on connection, loss, and the quiet journey back to self.
“…so, for now. I’ll be in my own home, if you’ll still have me.”

Finally posting about my graduate project!
Through photography, video and written dialogue, ‘Discourse in Motion’ is a curation of the stories of 8 dancers in Wellington. Each story touches on how they got introduced to dance, how dance has benefitted them, what achievements they have made and any advice they could provide on growth as a dancer. The video work is of all 8 dancers responding to the same base choreography in their way.
Featuring;
Alex Atkins, Emily Grethe, Louise Gromme, Emily Jepson, MJ Neethling, Reuben Nicolas, Caitlin Peetz, Riley Tiata
Super stoked to have a book in collaboration with @_twelveaftermidnight as part of their series “144”
The book is entitled “sincerely, again” it features the movements of Louise Gromme in a 10 metre long form print folded into 30 pages. Accompanying the book is a zine that speaks on myself and my work.
“A delicate yet fleeting look into a boundless void, elevated and untethered, outside of time and space. Left to pull the page and break the nothingness, you're falling, sincerely, again.”
