A/V Installation

PERTH INTERNATIONAL ARTS FESTIVAL Feb. 08 - 'Tonal Tap' Explores the pre-existent resonance of what will go on to become an acoustic instrument. Capturing the variety of processes and sonic excerpts that are part of the important process of choosing the right qualities held within various materials that help to make a unique and interesting instrument. These sonorous references often go unheard to others, usually leaving them to exist on their own in conjunction with their maker. These ephemeral moments have been documented and now make the basis for the live performance 'Tonal Tap', allowing them to exist in the present along side the finished product.

'PERIPHERAL UP'

PERTH INTERNATIONAL ARTS FESTIVAL, WESTERN AUSTRALIA 2009

These exhibited works are the outcome of a second residency at The Perth International Arts Festival. All works contain sound that has been derived from various locations in and around rural Western Australia (predominantly Albany).

These works seek to isolate the listener/viewer, abstracting them from their surrounds and comfort zone to creative a definitive listening experience. This isolation makes reference to the many peripheral environments from which the originating material was sourced.

'HANKYU' MSSR PROJECT SPACE, Brisbane, Aug. 2008 - 'Hankyu' is a live reactive A/V Installation through which the sound directly controls aspects of the imagery including contrast, opacity, direction, speed and colour saturation. Looking at ways of breaking down barriers between artist and audience, 'Hankyu' is being created and developed in real-time depending on the input from the sound and also the people within the space. Using a pre-conceived live sound scape that was created around a theme of 'progression' imagery was then used from a train ride between famous Japanese cities Osaka to Kyoto. The choice to use this image come through the linear direction the train takes and it's progressive nature allowing the same element in both mediums to create cohesion.

'TANGENTIAL UPRISE'

INFLIGHT GALLERY, HOBART, TASMANIA 2008

Tangential Uprise' is based on peripheral spaces in and about our everyday suburban dwellings. These places/spaces/objects co-exist with us as we go about our day to day routines quite often going unnoticed to the extent that we sometimes manipulate, pollute or destroy these micro spaces, never knowing they existed at all.
