A special event is taking place from 3rd May -7th June 2012 in the belfry at St John's Church Bethnal Green, London, An Installation using bacterial paintings,(research funded by The Wellcome Trust and with thanks to Dr Simon Park)

I made paintings over a six day period filmed in time lapse to create the picture for this animated video installation. In the Shakespeare play Hamlet, Ophelia drowns and is suspected of suicide. I wanted to paint an Ophelia who finds her true self while drowning in a place between life and death.

'I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of death and dying, and actually I think for me life is probably more frightening than death in the sense that, who knows where our bodies begin and where they end.

Please participate in this project by leaving a poem, song or music or other tribute to Ophelia on her voice mail at +44 (0) 2071839366 (standard land line Uk rates in the UK).

Thanks
