I wasn’t confident enough initially to apply for this residency but having been encouraged by Andy I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to collaborate with Alyson (BA Hons Music student). Having previously discussed numerous ideas with Alyson, I thought it would motivate us and give us the space to create. Here is our […]
Dower House Gallery, Lostwithiel – 12th – 17th December 2017 Suggesting poor social conditions and comically repulsive characters with fellow UNIT3 artists: Antonia Eden, Gary Marshall-Stevens, Jimmy Foo, Nicolette Knight Coming together in a very natural and easy way this show has been a tangible success on many levels. UNIT3 Artist Led Space has made itself […]
I began by using the net curtain. I have experimented with filming through, casting in plaster and casting in wax. By using salt I wanted to see the effects of laying traces of an object – leaving an index of what was there . The effect was quite mesmerising and there was a taste of […]
thinking of sound and collaborating with Alyson I started to think of vessels for sound and have revisited the domestic pipes that I used towards the end of my second year – it feels quite natural and cohesive to bring these objects back into current work Alyson and I have very similar themes that run […]

Artists that have been recommended and that I feel reflect my intentions are Susan Hiller’s work ‘Witness’ (2000) – Julianne Swartz – How Deep is your Love – 2003 I have ordered some contact speakers of various sizes to use with objects wired some […]
Door knobs suggested that difficult to crit as not a finished piece perhaps too static – using the pendulum idea to get the piece moving slowly that the piece could create sound in movement – use guitar strings rather than tacky fishing wire – in this way the pendulum would make sound Sink project in […]
Working with the knobs and installed into a pendulum hanging from the ceiling it swings appears heavy sound is taken from news clips surrounding Weinstein news about sexual harrassment idea of each knob having own sound and to build into a cacophony of noise starting from individual sound to layer up – unable to discern […]
