Sound experiment
►Audio pieces placed on the Echoes geolocation app for ‘Untitled Audio Exhibition’ with Elliot Jeffries and Dana McCarthy in 2020.
These are currently situated in and around the Tate Modern. You can only hear them by physically being in that space. Obviously, that isn’t easy at the moment (lockdown!), so I have made them available here. I wanted to create a contrast with the city by using sounds from the countryside. I experimented with narrative as well.
These are to be listened to with headphones as they are ‘3D sound’.

► PRINT My son and I found a moth that had been attacked by a cat. It was huge. An Emperor Moth. Its wings were took broken to fly again. We put it in a box so it was safe from cats. We learned that they don’t eat and they only live for a few days. The next morning we saw that she had laid eggs in the box. We took them out and put them on leaves. A couple days later she died. We held a funeral for her and buried her next to the bird we found dead last summer. They graves each marked with a stick. Now we wait to see if her egss will hatch.

This isn’t finished work. I’ve just beeen trying it out trying to think where it may lead. Here are just a few of my 3D scans.
