“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent” Victor Hugo

My work is influenced by the sounds of everyday objects that we take for granted. This current practice has been inspired by my musical background. I focus on the interaction between sound, drawing and sculpture. By listening and drawing to the sounds, my work creates a range of vibrant graphic scores, colours and shapes. Subsequently these translate into a variety of three dimensional forms. The materials embodied within my work begin the creative process with their individual sounds.

The degree show....June 18th - June 23rd 2010

Creating sounds/music and responding to these through drawing results in a full cycle and could keep developing through experimentation and collaboration with alternative musicians, sustaining my practice.

My final 5/6 drawings are influenced by the sounds of musicians from the Royal Northern College of Music, taken from previous drawings that i produced whilst listening to everyday materials. Displayed at the degree show 2010 will be the sound compositions along with drawings and three dimensional pieces which have been made reflecting the sound. I aspire to build on this knowledge to enagage two different communities, communicating with art AND music.
