Biography
The thrust of my recent projects focus on the evolving relationship between sound and space, in both real and imagined environments. Drawing influence from my research in to acoustic ecology, experimental music and synaesthesia, I see my work as a means of engaging the mind’s eye of the audience through the act of listening. Through this I hope to reveal how a greater awareness of sound can enrich our experience of place and contribute to more dynamic states of being.
I apply a multidisciplinary approach to art making, adapting to whatever means best suits my ideas; whether experimenting with turntable and vinyl records in a live setting, creating immersive site-specific installations or composing sound and music for film. I studied BA Creative Music Technology at Bath Spa University, and completed my post-graduate in Digital Arts at Camberwell College of Arts. Since 2006 I have been exhibiting work and performing in Singapore, London and most notably Venice; collaborating with Tang Da Wu in developing a multimedia sculptural installation at the Singapore Pavilion for the 52nd Venice Biennale (2007).
