Puddles’ Apology is a song I wrote with my band Mallet Space, telling the story of a clown writing a letter home to their disappointed parents, and their journey of freedom and self acceptance. Although the music video has a lens-based outcome, it was led by drawing in response to the lyrics. I created six large face-hole paintings which interact with people and the environment, helping me to tell the story of the song. As well as designing and crafting the pieces of set myself, I wrote, directed and edited the video.
