Poem:Film
Mar 13, 2017 With heart as calm as lake that sleeps – a collaboration with Caroline AreskogJones Sandycombe Lodge in Twickenham, once the ‘country’ villa of the artist JMW Turner has been restored and re-opened to the public. Caroline AreskogJones made two beautiful subtle silent films as portraits of Sandycombe Lodge prior to the refurbishment process. The first, With heart as calm as lake that sleeps, includes a script written by me https://vimeo.com/199215020 The second film is ‘diagram of a geometrical perspective on memory: after Turner’ https://vimeo.com/220287866 More details about the progress at Sandycombe Lodge: http://www.turnerintwickenham.org.uk/ See more work by Caroline AreskogJones: https://www.carolineareskogjones.com/
