I have been taking video footage of wetlands, watersheds and waves for several years and have worked with my watery archive to make Boiling Seas Acid Seas. I have used high-key unnaturalistic colours to conflate ideas of beauty and peril, but have not altered the sound. In filming wetlands in the shadow of highways, I became interested in the divergence of image and sound and what the sound revealed about the location beyond the frame.
