My current work searches for the place and presence of the emotive body within the post-digital swirl of language. This involves exploring the inherent structural malleability of language through contradiction and disruption, alongside investigations into platforms of digital information transfer. Repetition, dalliance, deconstruction and humour are used purposefully, yet playfully; walking a thin line between tragedy and comedy, between sense and nonsense, between signification and sonority. Working primarily with acts of reading and vocal semantics, the works investigate how the emotional impacts of digital culture are manifested through text- and voice- based mediums.
I treat language as raw material from which to work from: moulding, stretching, deconstructing and transforming physical texts on screen and within speech sound through the performed and recorded voice. Works materialise as theatrical video and sound installations, vocal compositions, hybrid texts, and publications.
