The lines are drawn...
Installation at Articulate Project Space Leichhardt
March 2012
Adhesive tape, nylon string.
6.5 x 3 x 3 metres (variable)
In this work I want to explore the visual excitement stimulated by the interaction of sets of lines. I am interested in the relationship between two dimensional drawing juxtaposed with the three-dimensional drawing in space. The patterning of lines on the wall forms a kind of rhythmic bass visually interrupted by the lyrical flights of the lines forming the spatial drawing.
The musical references in the work I have been doing recently are hard to miss. I am fascinated by the way in which sounds form patterns with overlaying lines - the polyphonic harmonies of counterpoint and fugal forms in particular. To attempt a parallel to this in a three dimensional visual form is part of the project, as are the visual disturbances created by the juxtaposition of the sets of lines.
The work in its entirety can be seen as a line drawing in space.

Chorale
Articulate Project Space
December 2011
Timber, nylon builders line, lead sinkers.
In this installed work I am attempting to express in a light-hearted way the connections I feel between the ways in which I work as a visual artist and the ways in which musical language is structured, both in sound and in the visual impact of notes on a page.
The patterning of the weights which tension the strings is based on a twelve tone melody - the melody constructed (rather than composed) using all the half tones of the scale. This melody has then been manipulated through inversion and retrogression.
I chose to position this work under the stairs. The stepped form (in inversion) may suggest the stepped ranks of a choir. The result I hope reflects the visual joy of performance and particularly our tradition of choral music.
