InSitu songs and silence was made over three years beginning in 2021 . Each blue print begins with a recording made at 5.30am on May 1st .  The 35/40 second  recording is edited with an ornithologists programme so that the form of the song pitch and vibrations can be seen.

Marking timelines and re drawn onto the Japanese wood plates. These are then cut to make a relief print. 

Each work has an echo – the left side of the mirror line is the beginning of the sound and contains 24 plates, in rows of 4 which can be read vertically. 

This piece shows the complexity of just a few seconds of sound and each song element comes with a silent element suspended above -simply hand coloured Kozo paper folded in the same way as the print below to give a visual colour to the silence. The three pieces were shown on one wall.

The film birdland was projected in the exhibition and used as a musical score by Jim Howard and Julie Walkington on the opening night for the link click here

Three artists all working with print, drawing, and mark making formed Geographies of print in 2020 to look, interrupt the flattened forms of digital existence and bring back a sense of time through touch and print. The stilled images, the paper, and the films are  both activated in the space of the gallery through installation pieces, sound and object images that shape how we interact with the exhibition space .

The exhibition’s that made up Without Horizon, without shore will be pulled together in a publication. This exhibition was the final iteration of a series of shows in France and Uk looking at ideas around a static view of nature, one that is deeply rooted in a nostalgia for the everlasting; A contemplation in a world where the imperceptible ebb and flow creates a sense of timelessness and of the eternal.

In a shifting landscape both metaphorical and actual, where our relationship to  our environment  captures our attention more than ever, these ephemeral traces of our physical experiences compel us to find new ways to embody them.
