This work was influenced by a month long residency at Arteles Creative Centre in Finland. The 2025 residency involved going without a phone or internet for the duration of the stay as well as meditation and wellness routines that ultimately fed my practice, and led me to create from a place of intuition and connection to both my surroundings and self.

‘Tasty Soup’ began as several passages of stream of consciousness writing that expanded into multiple art forms and avenues of exploration. These culminated in this film work that sought to unlock the subconscious through movement and using the body as the tool with which to communicate that which cannot be communicated through language.

Huge thanks to Arteles for the space and opportunity to create and to both Zach Siegel and Leyla Josephine for helping me, not only with the practicalities of filmmaking, but in nurturing joy and playfulness throughout this project. This film genuinely wouldn’t be what it is without you!
