Tipping Point (2014) 3 mins 17 secs excerpt from 16 mins 27 secs, single-screen video, sound, loop
 
 
Originally commissiond for Canalology Festival, Tottenham by POST Artists
 
Curator Emma Leach on Tipping Point: 'In this piece we watch, in crisp HD video, a woman picking up a metal bucket and emptying the contents into a second bucket. We can see the canalside in the background, visible in a thin, dank, winter daylight. As the piece continues it betrays the futility of this woman’s steady and repeated actions – sometimes the buckets contain water, sometimes they are empty, but she continues to tilt one after the other, as if hoping the situation will change, or blind to its ineffectiveness.'
 

Canalology Festival was supported by Arts Council England Grants for the Arts
