Artworks, Documentaries, Installations, Resources
This area is a catch-all space for all the above: Documentaries for Channel 4 during the 80's where I and my collaborators wrote, produced and directed everything from small budget community activist docs through to big 2 part docs on Superpower foreign policy for Channel 4, (sixth down) Histories of the Health Service, Animal Rights, Cultural Histories of Video Art and collaborations with friends who work in sound and some video art resources on the subject of the history of video art in the uk. Beneath there's an example of one of my collaborations with Composer Sean Bell (Montreal): "The Consciousness of Angels "and also "Waterfell "created with Emily Burridge

THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF ANGELS
The Consciousness of Angels is the first work of the Immeasurable Heaven collection and is a collaboration between Terry Flaxton and composer Shawn Bell. This work asks of the viewer to beleieve that larger, more influential (and yet more Immaterial Beings) than us exist - normally known as angels - Are they like those depicted in Renaissance art? Blond men, women and children with halos that hover near the mortals they whisper secrets to? Or are these just the reflection of our own knowledge that movements of early minute strings of energy that we now see as sub atomic particles, so simple and so early in the birth of the universe that were both entangled and communicating with eachother in an intelligent fashion, that then laid the foundations of the universe as we know it? And perhaps in recognising this we recognise their agency within the myths we construct? This work is a visualisation of the earliest foundational moments of our current universe.

And here's a collaboration with Emily Burridge, Cellist, who composed the music for Waterfell - I placed these two works together as both utilise, as a base for the abstraction, images of water. |
