Sculpted shadowbox relief
A deep box of sculpted pastel pieces at dawn, filmed by a camera that slides across it: a sun made of lit windows rises over stepped hills, trees bloom rosette by rosette, a train of beads rolls along piping between two portholes. Every piece is cut in tiers so it reads as rounded clay, and casts a soft shadow on what sits behind it.

Looks that sit near it
- Cut paper with depthA paper diorama filmed by a moving camera: every piece is textured card with a lit cut edge, casting a soft shadow on the layer behind. Scenes change like a pop-up book, folding flat and springing up around the character.
- Painted paper layersA paper theatre of painted plates: every sky, hill, street and prop is its own sheet of hand-painted, cut or torn paper, and code moves them past each other at their own depths, each sheet casting a soft shadow on the one behind.
- Junkyard collageTorn paper, newsprint and tin, moving in stop motion.
- Cut-out collageA hinged paper puppet plane over photo-collage scenery; giant scissors snip the sky.
