Correspondence. Hearing /Vision. 2010.
I am a visual artist who works mostly live in performance with Music. This work has evolved partly through my own joint practice as an artist and musician and through my own unique experience of seeing music and hearing colour as one.
My work seeks to extend the ideas associated and generated by Action, Improvisation and Music through Colour and Gesture. My creative process is to fuse Musical and Visual concerns in order to test the limits of artistic practice via performance, exploring where these two art forms join and divide. The eventness of performance creates work that cannot be repeated which is in a very strong sense singular, to the moment, combining both a product and a process. Like site specific sculpture, my work raises questions about the ontological status of the art work.
I wish to create a large-scale installation, which will evolve over the duration of the exhibition. This will be similar in process to work I have completed for performances in the past ten years, responding to looped passages of music over time for a final performance, this new work will importantly shift the focus onto the process of creation of the piece rather than the final product. The show will start with only music live and improvised from two brand new instruments The Lupophon and the newly designed Oboe, of which effects can be achieved by moving the instrument in space, using the technology which is used on an I Pad and a blank space. This will gradually change as the exhibition continues, with the viewer gradually being able to experience my own unique joining of senses hearing vision and surrounded by musical Colour and light.
