The word 'distortion' conjures up certain images and with the choosing of this theme I was expecting to receive many a tale of crippled limbs, contorted bodies and nicked flesh. What I actually received, the best of which you will see over the next few pages, is so much more than just aesthetic ideas. The word itself has become a wound to be mangled and stretched into a new groove - time, history, truth, reality, art, film, colour, technique, gender, mise en scene, reflections, mortality and corrosion have all been deliciously distorted into a fine selection of images and text.
