Artist Statement

Filmed in the Fairfield Nature Reserve in Lancaster, this film uses the community-nurtured ecological space for an experimental short. Twisting and turning along the footpaths, Track uses the eco-space to create a sense of paranoia and panic, combining visual art with the natural landscape.
