To The Lighthouse

In collaboration with Ruth Philo, a film and two light installations as part of a residency at grove projects, Bury St.Edmunds, Suffolk 2015

Inspired by Virgina Woolf's book of the same name, 'To the Lighthouse' is a new collaboration between painter Ruth Philo and sound artist Stuart Bowditch. They were attracted to Orford Ness, and the lighthouse, as almost mythical places, and were keen to discover what lay inside before the building is lost to the sea. The film brings together their two practices for the first time, as an experiment, and has tried to capture the sense of being safe inside the protective building whilst also being surrounded by the forbidden and wild ness on which it sits. A world within an underworld. 

Supported generously by grove projects, the first exhibition of the works featured a film in the main gallery and light based installations in the shed and pantry.
