In Pursuit of the Perfect Sound

Solo Exhibition at Arcade Campfa, October 2022.

In Pursuit of the Perfect Sound explores the idea of forming ‘perfect sound’ and how this might exist as a combination of silent and sonic works exploring past identity, childhood memory and family relationships.

A looped sound work formed of multiple voice tracks plays into the space, accompanied by interpretations of visual scores. Using appropriated musical score as a metaphor, the work discusses themes of childhood experiences and dynamics, forming repeated patterns.

Her sculptures Quiet I-V utilise the diffraction of sound to create ‘introverted’ works, in which the input is ultimately louder than the output. Playing voices extracted from past home footage video, the work explores former identity and the exhuming of memory to form pure, ‘perfect’ sound.
