Woman of the Moon is my 2019 MFA graduation film from Edinburgh College of Art. The concept of the film was to capture inspiration in its rawest form. Those electrifying, dazzling moments of sheer inspiration. At the time of making this film I was going through a deep art block. I felt as though I had lost the igniting factor that pushed me to make and I made WotM about that feeling. It developed from a film I had been writing several years prior about a grandchild and grandfather, who found inspiration in each other. I had shelved the idea then because it didn't feel right. I picked the concept back up in the final year of my masters degree.
"Artists can spend years trying to understand inspiration’s intense and fleeting nature. Trying so desperately to hold onto it and chasing it when it’s gone. Woman of the Moon is the tale of how one finds inspiration".
