Moving Image

Introducing the 16mm film work of David Chatton Barker

David Chatton Barker works primarily across analogue media in sound in vision and is heavily influenced by the natural world.

The actual physical film reel of his work below-Patterns of Light-is currently buried in compost and will be exhumed and rescanned for a special screening to close this exhibition.

​All film is hand processed in chemicals created using plant solutions and developed in buckets.

With sincere thanks to this unique creative for his contributions.
