My practice draws on auto-ethnographic reflections on quotidian urban environments, and is particularly driven by a curiosity for architectural spaces’ psychological and poetic meditations.
The environments that surround us continually influence a fluid sense of identity, itself interwoven with a rhizomatic, ever-changing material environment. Our identities are composed of complex, intricate unfixed elements, through which we experience a state of constant ‘becomings’.
A City Orchestra flows with this fluidity, opposed to a fixed state, as an unbound multi-faceted installation within and external to the white cube. The work is equal parts performance, process and residue, responding to the traditions of psycho-geography. It sees the city as a living organism, recognising seemingly inanimate elements and structures as living agents, acknowledging the various ‘voices’ in both coalescence and guidance of the Orchestra’s composition.
