I am eager to make a start on the files. I shall explore every video and photo (but perhaps not Mary Beard being filmed for a BBC documentary, despite how exciting this was: she had a lovely pink streak in her hair and seemed over the moon to be here), and every audio recording: a squeezebox playing sea shanties, cathedral bells peeling, sirens, street preachers and singing... Once the videos are completed I shall look to what will make a strong image for a print from the video stills. I intend to create various types of prints: woodcut, perspex engraving, carborundum, collagraph – all huge and probably 120cm in diameter, and then decide which works best. Whatever I do will be a labour of love, but worth it. Before the physical work though: the editing.
