I made a short video using old childhood photos of mine collaged together. My first few years were spent growing up in a small town, Knaresborough, which was quite a magical place for a child. First Memories describes some of that magic. Throughout my life I have used my imagination and creativity to rescue me. The scarlet macaw is a metaphor for my imagination getting me through the tough times. The beautiful piece of music, La symphonie des éclairs, by Zaho de Sagazan, seems to be the perfect accompaniment as it explores the idea of turning chaos into something beautiful.
