Since completing her MA at the Slade in 1990, Sarah Pucill has been making 16mm films that have been funded by the Arts Council, London Production Fund, Carlton TV and the AHRB. Her work has been exhibited in museums, film festivals and galleries internationally, and has won awards at Oberhausen and Atlanta festivals. Her retrospective screenings include the Tate Britain, The Lux and 291 Gallery. The photographic image has always been central to her filmmaking process. Her recent images from Stages of Mourning are included in a publication on women's photographic self portraiture (Masquerade, Iris 2004).
Welsby's work is characterised by a rigorous and experimental exploration of the relationship between natural systems inherent in the landscape, such as weather patterns and tidal flow, and the systematic methods and apparatus of filmmaking used to represent them.
He has been working primarily with digital media since 1993, and is currently developing and exhibiting interactive video installations with collaborators in the fields of computational poetics and interactive audio environments, most recently dance, with the project Heaven's Breath.
He lives on a small island in British Columbia and he is Professor of Fine Art Film And Video, at the School for the Contemporary Arts, Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada.
