The Channel is a spatial musical instrument, encouraging a moment of pause and play. The piece makes use of touch, sound and vision to engage simultaneous sensory activity and encourage a cognitive pause from overcrowded physical and digital networked pathways.

False horizons are assembled for the commuting urbanite who feels a compulsion to keep moving along subterranean city arteries. Fluid silks mimic the hardest architecture to bend perception and provide the effect of continuous travel.
Imperfections such as globs of thick ink, pin marks, raw and rough edges remain on the silk chiffon as remnants of the making process. Revealing the exertions of mixing ink and pulling paste across the print table.The piece enables the audience to become composers of a slow gentle melody.

Sound design is in collaboration with Andy Walker & Printing assisted by Sally King. 

 

Exhibited at the Turner Contemporary in Margate September 2021 - February 20th 2022
