“It’s this silty ground between intent and actuality – the idea before it is put into action – that is the territory explored in the mosaic-like short films of London-based artist Emily Wardill…..an inquiry into the degree to which we are conscious of our own behaviour – into how reality rubs against expectation…..as in cases of paranoia in which a system known only to the paranoiac gives meaning to apparently random configurations of events..”//Melissa Gronlund-frieze
