Shelter

A sound-proofed head compartment inserted into the ground with the function of escaping the urban soundscape when overwhelmed much like an ostrich in the sand.

Audio Sign

A loudspeaker sign outputting a field recording of the urban space that it is placed in. The recording was done the day prior to the sign's installation at approximately the same time.

Daily Routines

Silenced

Wearing a mask with speakers in it that amplifies a voice reciting a text that I myself are trying to voice while gagging on a microphone and speaker in my mouth.

Unheard

First installment of a sound sculpture featuring a steel triangle, hanging flashlight, speaker and microphone. When the viewer speaks into the microphone, it triggers sequence of spinning movements in the flashlight. At the bottom of the triangle, a light sensitive sensor determines the outputted frequency.

Therefore, one's voice is being amplified through the movement of the microphone and ultimately the square waves through the speaker.

Spinning Doll

Spinning doll complete with Minnie Mouse t-shirt, make-up, mini skirt and Vanessa Hudgins musical accompaniment.

A to B

Sound installation mapping my daily route with familiar sounds from three major intersections on the path. Sounds are amplified through small speakers creating a subtle almost frustrating sonic environment where the viewer must approach the objects in an intimate fashion to clearly hear the sounds.
