SELECTED WORK
Colour Curve
Bournemouth, September – November 2019
Collaboration with Alex Mead
Colour Curve was a large-scale art installation that appropriated 150 streetlights to transform a 6-kilometre stretch of the Bournemouth coast into a spectrum of coloured light. A plaque with each streetlight’s spectral distribution information was mounted to each post to connect our scientific understanding of light to how we conceive it experientially.
Liberez: M'aidez
Music Video, January 2019
A music video for the Liberez track M'aidez from the new album Way Through Vulnerability.
Singing Mirror
The British Music Experience, Liverpool, May 2018
Collaboration with Alex Mead and Thomas Blackburn
Singing Mirror was a light and sound installation in which audiences could find themselves transformed in a series of projected kaleidoscopic patterns. This immersive experience was responsive to the presence of visitors, creating sounds and moving patterns based on the actions of participants. The project was created in collaboration with Thomas Blackburn.
A Measure of Disruption
The Factory, London,
May/June 2018
Collaboration with Alex Mead
A Measure of Disruption utilized the phenomenon of video feedback to enact a dialogue between physical and digital worlds. An array of floating sculptural spheres was arranged in the field between camera and display and participants were invited to physically interact with these objects to create visual effects. The movement of the spheres through this framed field would produce disruptions that would infinitely ripple through the system.
Picture in Picture
New River Studios, October 2017
Collaboration with Alex Mead
Picture in Picture made use of the phenomenon of video feedback and was designed around splitting a viewer’s body across an array of twenty televisions. In each screen a fragment of their body would disrupt a video feedback loop to trigger a change in colour and pattern.
CRTV
New River Studios, Permanent
Collaboration with Alex Mead and Edmund Fraser
Produced for New River Studios, CRTV is a permanent installation that facilitates the connection of the studio's event spaces with the bar and social space, through a live-video CRT wall. The work is flexible and can be programmed in a variety of ways with an interactive standby mode that uses people's movement in front of the wall to modulate fractal patterns.
Find Yourself
The Barbican, March - May 2017
Collaboration with Alex Mead
'Find Yourself’ was a projected tapestry composed from live video feeds that documented aspects of the Concert Hall’s various adjacent spaces. Viewers were encouraged to explore the multiple levels surrounding the portrait wall in order to discover themselves in the work. The layout of the tapestry was curated to augment its architectural context and enhance the sense of perspective when viewed from particular positions.
Extended Window
The Onca Gallery, March 2017
Extended Window was concieved as a three-dimensional landscape of light and colour. Layers built up with varying degrees of opacity and colour are carefully lit to describe the passing of time. Moments, a day, a stream of seasons, viewed through the window.
Over My Head
A collection of shadows, Ongoing
Over My Head uses light and shadow to create a sense of three-dimensional space on a white surface.
Watch Sound Hear Light Play
The Onca Gallery,
September 2016
Collaboration with Thomas Blackburn
Watch Sound Hear Light Play was an installation in which physical interaction with large elastic strings would produce sound and light. The strings invited a range of interactions with the way that people participated and entangled themselves in the work becoming a spectacle in itself.
Outside Inside Out (Set Design & Lighting for a Theatre Production)
Ex-Fed Theatre, February 2016
Co-produced with Rocío Ayllon
The scenography for the project was based around the idea of a house in the forest. The house is compressed into the form of a corridor and made to bisect the stage. This 'inside' space is given transparency and populated with a window and a door, to create visual permeability across the three spaces. The 'outside' spaces at the front and back of the stage are filled with a grid of thick elastic, black and white strings which vibrate and become a substance against which characters can physically express themselves.
Falling House
The Slade Research Centre,
April/May 2014
Collaboration with Rocio Ayllon and Riccardo Vincentini
Falling House conceptualised a house in a perpetual state of flux - 12 minute cycles of construction and destruction to a score by Riccardo Vincentini. The project was about extracting time from a phenomena to create new meaning and an experience without beginning or end. The project was published in Engaged Urbanism: Cities and Methodologies, I.B.Tauris, December 2016.
La Traviata de Verdi
Un Nuit Sans Opera, Aix-en- Provence, July 2011
Collaboration with Marcel Croxson
A cloud, constructed of black and white staves, floats in Cezanne's garden in Aix-en-Provence. Light is used to animate the material to create a sense of raining space. Moments of shelter are carved out of it and inhabited by musicians Robert Jukic & co. and over a 40 minute act the garden is transformed through the seasons.
