Biography
Over the last ten years, my work has been animated by a curiosity about our relationships with the environment around us. Initially exploring architecture and photography as processes that made those relationships concrete, more recently I have explored how sound can be both a significant part of the environment and a creative way of addressing how we perceive that environment.My contribution to the Sound Proof group show at the E:vent gallery responded to the Lower Lea Valley in sound, text and graphics while my CD/booklet "Some Memories of Bamboo" focused its attention on a small parcel of land in the Kami-Katsura district of Kyoto in Japan. I co-curated the exhibition Sound Escapes at Space during July and August 2009.
I am currently developing a collaborative project that adopts a similar response to site with scientists and anthropologists, this time focusing on the contested space around Narita airport in Japan.
