Blythian Memes 2026

An experimental animation capturing the essence of Blyth for me, through the distinctive landmarks etched in my memory. The Concept: While walking the local area with my dogs, I have absorbed the quirky local spaces. These are a selection of buildings or objects that have become ‘memes’ in my mind, images instantly recalled when I think of Blyth, seamlessly woven into the fabric of my experience living here. The film is a visual exploration of repeating and morphing patterns. Throughout this narrative, a symbolic, totemic sculpture emerges as a recurring motif: The Wind Turbine. From Coal to Wind: This towering structure not only punctuates the Blyth skyline but serves as a bold emblem of the future. It heralds a new era of power, supplanting the historical prominence of coal in Blyth's narrative. I only recently realised the way I work has been influenced by the very place I now live. Blyth is becoming the centre of the UK for renewable energy, reusing the elements to power the country. In turn, I re-use the fabric of my films to create new art.
