RICHARD
7 projection installation with Anna Cady Chapels of Rest Stroud 2023
For years after Nick’s uncle Richard died in an accident in 1961 his devastated mother visited spiritualist mediums in order to speak to him. She kept notes of these meetings, and a few of his things in a suitcase which was delivered to Nick two years ago with a note: All of these things belonged to Richard. I have cherished them – please you who handle them after me do the same. The yellow sweater and the ties may be taken and used if liked. His Mother.
The seven part installation Richard is Nick and film maker, Anna Cady’s response during Stroud Film Festival 2024 at The Chapels of Rest, Stroud Cemetery. The projections form both a whole installation and individual works.

MASSIVE TOOL
Performance by (both laughing) collaborative Summer 2023.
A woman wearing a belt heavily attached with domestic detritus, which trails awkwardly behind her, walks noisily down the street of her local town wearing a serious expression and walking with purpose. She ignores passersby as she has a serious job to do.
