BIO
As a visual artist I bring together practice and reflection, using installations, essays, workshops and collaborative projects to question how art might create space for shared experience and ethical thought. Alongside my practice I teach at St. Joost School of Art & Design and conduct research at the Centre of Applied Research for Art, Design and Technology (CARADT), and I work collectively as part of YAFF.
Installations & artworks
A
Song for the Earth
A
three-part a cappella performance. acrylic one, Arduino
and speakers.
The installation measures 3 x 50 (W) x 20 (D) x 50 (H)
centimetres.
(2020)
For this
installation, I composed a song that was performed during the exhibition
opening by three men dressed in costumes inspired by a still from a 3D
animation, A State of Nature. In the song, humanity offers an apology
for taking nature for granted, viewing it solely as a resource for human use. As
a faint reminder of this performance, the three busts then echo the song,
blended into a soundscape alongside other ambient sounds. The busts of the
three singing men gaze dreamily across the water into the distance. Embedded in
the ground of the fort, they reunite with the surrounding landscape and nature.
Exhibited
at Fort Sabina, organised by Kunstloc (formerly BKKC).
