Current Projects | Listening Forms
These recent sculptural works explore the notion of ‘resonance’ in this context i.e. how personal history and one’s immediate environment might coalesce. By taking repeated walks in the natural environment, I have gathered audio and developed visual patterns, a set of fabric objects called ‘listening forms ‘have developed. The forms are made to amalgamate with the human body in various positions; embedded with speakers they invite listening and holding, with looped audio compositions that are specifically referential to the location they have come from, but also might echo spaces beyond them.
The forms examine the temporal nature of memory, spatial sensation and physical experience/gestures to reflect notions of care and the human affinity for narrative construction. This results in work that asks the viewer to be a conceptual and physical interlocuter, forming their own relation to the work through a combination of listening, touching and seeing.
