I’m a multi-media artist working across sculpture, sound and film, developing flexible modular works that can be deconstructed and reconstructed. Works can be re-imagined or repositioned to facilitate a continually evolving conversation with both the geographical and psychological spaces they occupy. Exploring various joining methods such as magnetism, the pieces are held together in tension somewhere between attraction and repulsion. An interest in psychoanalysis leads me to explore themes of control and complicity. Repetition and rhythm run through the work both materially and within sound.
Audio, from field or voice recordings integrated in the work combines the ephemeral with the physical. Mining the subconscious via the mechanisms of memory through dream recall and remembered experiences shapes my interest in storytelling. I’m interested in secrets and the unspoken or the unspeakable. Making the invisible audible, bringing fragments of experiences together in a rhythmic form, investigating patterns of language that reinforce the power of repetition in influencing our behaviours. The attention that arises from listening encourages an engagement with internal subconscious dialogues and places the audience in a bodily sensorial space.
Currently, I have been thinking of the voice as a bridge between the internal and external limits of the body as a group experience. The dissolving of the self as a means to transcend our individual selves into the collective.
