Kai-OI Jay Yung, 'Paradise: Wildflower', Video still, 2008. Courtesy: Copyright the artist. Yung explores the visual syncopation of a dancer's movements when placed in the editing timeline alongside live gospel, electro and African beat.

One of eight interlinking yet diverse video pieces to be exhibited in her Paradise Stories installation.

On Saturday I cycled clockwise around Milton Keynes on the Redways (a network of tracks for walkers and cyclists). The fold out Official City map gave a good idea of the green spaces surrounding the city and made me eager […]
It rained again today, heavily. I'm at home again sorting my life out before returning to Bedford. My morning was spent hunting for my tax calculation so I could pay it. Joy was unconfined when I finally discovered it filed […]
