explain
In 2008 I created some sound art on my first paid residency. I had been awarded a Leverhulme award and was to spend 14 months in the Faculty of Technology. After initial introductions I started to ‘play’ with the Cosmology Department – My love of science drawing me to talk to the scientists to find avenues for sound and graphic. I eventually shadowed a cosmologist specialising in Supernovae. One of the works for the final show was the sound work ‘One-point-four’. These three pieces of sound were included in a science art show in London as well as part of a day sound work in the Turbine Hall.
Deliberately seen at a talk in London for my London 2012 commission ‘Look About’ (conceptual geological mapping of the Cultural Olympiad in the SE) I was asked to talk on their behalf at Cheltenham Science Festival – the birthplace of this project.
The Look About colour work – pattern finding regardless of scale also attracted attention at the same time – irretrievably connected.
This sound work ‘One point Four’ is on show for the next month together with an image from Look About – both roots of this SK project at the O3 Gallery in Oxford.

Portsmouth February 26th
wake
6:02am
there is
an untouchable
difference here I
am still thinking about?
Unstopped by cold – teeth on edge tripping me up – walk into University past the white stiring stick tarmacked into the pavement – daily fossil waypointer
tea
Meet with videographer – person creating the projection system for the project events beyond
Talking practicalities – then interview for dissertation- including demonstration of first draft projections to my first draft sound elements
l. feel inspired by what I have seen
Know my trust was well placed – often difficult for an aspie to do – hand part of the creation over to another – to evolve – to participate – to grow a challenge – yes – I am a ‘loner’ – yes – I have been ‘finger burnt’ in the past – nothing worthwhile ever easy – simple or without a cost – sometimes on gut instinct you can get it mostly right
could this be near aspiehappy?
unable to Konfirm as cant find rules
