This video is part of an installation called The Loop of it All and Nothing. It holds existential sisyphian themes of the endless and menial task which captivate the viewer through their own projection of meaningfulness on everything that exists.

PRID PROD

This is a video that is as backwards as it is forwards and conforms to nothing. It is projected outside but it is on the inside and never ends until it ends.

HIDE

This is the first installation I created in response to making an immersive video installation that hides the image of the video and draws you in with the sound. Once you are in there, you are then bombarded from many sides with video image and sound that vibrates all around you. It gives a feeling of wanting to get out of there as you stand with your neck craned uncomfortably but you are drawn in to stay and watch the video. Eventually the viewer will restore their own equilibrium by stepping back into the real world.

Second installation of crystals with sound

I have been experimenting with the scale of the space that the crystals and the sound are exhibited in. I am playing around with how I can control the audience to receive my work. I have made an installation which can be walked in to and where light is projected through the crystal and on to the wall, taking up the whole wall. This allows for the crystal to be examined in a different format to real life. I have exhibited it so that it is also always moving from side to side in a pendulum like motion. This makes the projection feel animated and kind of alive, or as if it is being moved by the sound that surrounds it. The idea is that as you enter the space you are hit by the sound first instead of being drawn in by the crystal as it was in ArtSway. The sound can be heard just as you enter the room. You are then presented with a representation of a moving crystal. again like the piece in ArtSway, as there are only two things present in the space, you automatically realize some kind of connection between the two components. The swinging crystal is quite captivating to some, as they stand and look at it for a while. The positive audio encourages the people to stay and view the crystal, whilst the negative dissuades people to stay in the room, making them feel uncomfortable in the space.

Installation

As an artist I have come to have a respect for sound as a force and as an art form. My practice over the last year has involved using sounds from every day life and transforming them into visual pieces; video, photography and sculpture. I am now looking at how sound can affect its surroundings through resonance – in particular waters effect on crystal growth.

This is based on an experiment conducted by Dr. Masaru Emoto. Positive, negative, and an absence of words are used as an effector to alter the crystallization process where every ion should fit together perfectly. Negative words should negatively alter the process – the crystal may show signs of impurities and vice versa.

Can you hear what you see? (2010)

Sculpture: Concrete

Delve into the realm of visual sound and take at look at what you are listening to by observing these aptly named ‘sound sculptures’.

My sculptures hold a moment in time, a moment of sound in physical form. The work takes you right to the heart of what makes the gardens a great place for people to visit. It portrays the life, the atmosphere, and ultimately the sounds that you can hear all around you in the gardens, from the tweet of a bird in the aviary, to the conversation of two elderly ladies chatting over a cup of tea.
