an emotional density and intensity to the work. There is precision in the execution of the work—the mediums, light source and framing. Marshall uses techniques such as loops, zooms and slow motion, to amplify the anxiety and the obsessive side of her films. The titles of her works, for example: When I Grow Up, I Want To Be A Cooker, are sentences spoken by her children. The sound is often limited to a child's voice that repeats a looping phrase, such as "I Love You Mummy, I Hate You", or a haunting, amplified sound, such as in Playground, the sound of the missing ball on the wall of the chapel.

Two videos projected together in a corner. A woman in underwear is on one screen, a child in a vest on the other. The camera revolves around them like a predator in their cold rooms. The woman is lit in a sequence of disturbing lights. There seems to be a longing from one screen to the other to dispel the separation. The sound is recorded from the camera, an ominous sound that matches the movement. The motion control rig is called "Cyclops" the film is consequently titled Cyclops. Playground. A teenager plays football in slow motion against a church. The ball is removed, but the shadow continues to play. The sound of the ball hitting the wall and the boy's effort
