Abstract
Sound, space and perception are expansive areas of enquiry, which I connect
together through a creative investigation into location, sensory experience and interrelationship
within a wider ecosystem. Using an abstract mapping process, audio
recordings have been gathered from three spatial/acoustic locations: liquid space,
ground level and atmosphere. Many sites have been selected for their ecological
or historical significance. Photography has also been utilised to form a multisensory
and multi-disciplinary approach to research. Different cultural meanings of
landscape have been considered, exploring how this has the potential to precipitate
new relationships and a deeper understanding of ourselves, others and the
environment. Since any direct experience that takes place within the environment
occurs using my own bodily-sensory perceptions, this enquiry is viewed from a
personal perspective that comes with a degree of subjectivity.
