Poet Alice Oswald Endorses Use of Sea Poem Text in Art Film....

Amazing day! Poet Alice Oswald, Winner of T.S Eliot Prize 2007 and shortlisted for the Forward Prize, rang me to say yes to using her beautiful words in my work.
Sea Poem is the basis of a Short Art Film - six dresses deconstructed, reconstructed and stitched into each stanza of the poem.
Each dress is filmed separately - merging into the Sussex coastline, referencing the poem and linking femininity to the ocean.




We've shot the first dress - the first two minutes of the film. Early days but with Alice behind us our project is growing in amazing ways!
