About
'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
