Biography


Sapphire Goss makes films using experimental techniques, playing with textures and surface and using unusual patterns with light, fragments of archive and found footage with more traditional filmed elements to create abstract animations; a moving collage. This layered style creates work that has a physically tangible, textural quality and evokes dream narratives, creating concurrent motifs, shifting patterns and layers of consciousness. She has created films for exhibition, live events and for commercial purposes. She often works in a collaborative way, with other artists, designers, scientists or musicians. With a background studying documentary and visual anthropology she uses observation, interviews and process to investigate ideas of the body in space, place, culture and memory.
