‘The Heart Has Narrow Banks’ arose from a morbid fascination with my own irregular heartbeat. Both video and music take their rhythm from the Emily Dickinson poem; the images are a collage of the text, 18th century anatomical engravings and photos from the inner body while the last stanza is sung to my own pulse. ‘The Heart has narrow Banks It measures like the Sea In mighty – unremitting Bass And Blue Monotony Till Hurricane bisect And as itself discerns Its insufficient Area The Heart convulsive learns’
– Emily Dickinson

Gu Cheng, the exiled Chinese poet whose poetry and person form the basis of 3 Poems, lived on a small island in Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf. The video images are of Gu Cheng and his poet wife Xie Ye on Waiheke Island, animations of Gu Cheng’s disturbingly whimsical drawings and the poem’s Chinese text. The tape uses diverse sounds and music – cooking oil, a Russian folksong sung in Chinese by the couple and – potatoes!
