‘The Walled Garden’ (2020)
'The Walled Garden' is an audio-visual piece consisting of several collaged elements. The audio is a collage of voice and synthesiser improvisations, textures, words and field recordings. The video is a corresponding collage of footage of flowers, plants, water and places at the edge of cities. On top of the video is a feedback loop performed live with a webcam, which feeds the original video back through itself, cutting out certain colours with greenscreen technology to create a flickering, unpredictable textural layer on top of the original video.
The audio/video element is broken into six parts and lasts 22 minutes in total. On each reloading of the page, a random fragment of the video appears. This is set in a webpage that expands the collage beyond the rectangle of the video by introducing a randomised looped moving background taken from the video and a randomised line from the lyrics as a heading.
‘JAM Cones’ (2019)
Interactive painted paper-mache sculptures fitted with light sensors and buzzers. Installed with a light, the intensity of the buzzer drone would change depending on the proximity to and intensity of the light. People were encouraged to pick up the objects and hold them to their ear while walking around the space.
