Abstract
'Underbelly', by Christine Wilks, is the winner of the 2010/11 MaMSIE Digital Media Competition. It is a moving and complex work of digital fiction, about a woman sculptor who is carving in stone on the site of a former colliery in the north of England. As she carves, she is disturbed by a medley of voices, including her own internal dialogue, an articulation of her innermost fears and desires. As she chips away at the stone, other voices begin to emerge, telling the stories of women who worked underground in the pits, hauling rock in squalid, harsh conditions. The Digital Media Competition was kindly supported by the Faculty of Humanities, De Montfort University
