Memoir of a Snail, is my seventh clayography and is the bittersweet remembrance of a lonely woman called Grace Pudel, who retells her life-story to a humble garden snail called, Sylvia. The protagonists in all my films are outsiders and my themes and narratives explore difference. I love telling stories that are infused with humour and pathos; reflections of our own everyday lives that celebrate the moments of joy with the darkness that comes with life's challenges. For over thirty years my objective has been simple; make my audiences laugh ... and make them cry.
