### Ian Bourn

#### biography

[Ian](http://www.filmwaves.co.uk/Filmwaves_files/01_14/10IanBourn.htm) is an established artist, working in video since 1978. The East End of London, where he was born and still lives, is also the site of his work. In 1985 he founded *Housewatch*, the artists’ group specialising in public film events.

His films draw on characters from his past and present, their language and sense of humour, to create fiction and metaphor that has an authentic ring to it.

Recent video works include **Monolog** and [The Kiss](http://www.mfj-online.org/journalPages/MFJ39/JohnSmith.html) . Computer imaging is a significant departure for his practice.
