I work with sound as I enjoy the exploration of a location, discovering its characteristic and hidden sounds, and the patience this takes. The process acquaints me with many aspects of a place; physical, social, psychological.
I explore the fact that sound is energy, and I use recordings or live action to trigger motion in objects or transform a sound by playing it through various materials, resonating them. I work unpredictable systems or actions, such as weather conditions or malfunctioning devices as I enjoy the lack of complete control over my work.
I also investigate how other energy forms, such as light, wind and water can produce or trigger sound, and vice versa how sound be used to create light and movement, at times resulting in a physical trace.
Re-using and re-contextualising environmental sounds has led me to use found and discarded objects and technology in my work.
Through my own interests in the re-evaluation of sounds, objects and situations I hope that others are inspired to do the same.
