(about)

Video Design for Living at the Tanya Moiseiwitsch Playhouse, Sheffield. The play spans five decades in a single family's living room. The date of each scene was projected into the warm wood of the set, built from light and shadow so it read as part of the surface, giving the room a steady, shifting sense of time passing.

Two performers beside a sofa in a living room built from chipboard, with the words "Aug 1992" projected large across the back wall.
A grey-haired woman in a red dressing gown looks up as soft rippling coloured light is projected across the chipboard walls.
A group of performers sit and talk around a chipboard living-room set, with a month and year projected large across the back wall.
Three performers in paper party hats celebrate Christmas on a chipboard set, with "1977" projected large behind them beside a small tree.
