My practice
has been constantly evolving and has taken a variety of forms including
theatre, film score, song, internet performance and digital installation.
My current interests lie in the creation of databases consisting of
video, sound composition and spoken dialogue for the production of random
digital art. Computer network systems, surround sound technology and
digital projection are the means through which the work is realized
and experienced.
My work
interrogates the familiar; the everydayness of the vernacular. From
the performance of the smile for the holiday-snap, the study of memory
and emotion in the family album to the day-to-day existence of living
with neighbours, the work engages on many levels.
Each
piece of work contains a random element and through the re-combination
of the components used, new meanings are made. It is the meaning making
process that I am interested in, particularly how sound can change the
meaning of the visual. The methods used for gathering material are auto/ethnographic
and the use of the field trip and the documentation of everyday stories are
essential to the work. The use of real life narrative has become the
hallmark of each of my investigations. The exploration of new technology
and its use in the presentation of its components is simply the vehicle.
