As Long as a Piece of String: Sarabande Foundation Solo Show
Sarabande High Road, London

Like removing a single note from a piano and placing it on the wall, Interval consists of variable length, wall-mounted, carefully tuned strings vibrating at resonant frequencies via self-oscillating feedback loops.

My solo show, As Long as a Piece of String, explored sound as distinctly physical phenomena, imagining sound as connective tissue intimately binding us to the spaces we inhabit. Five strings were placed around the gallery space, their length and tension – and consequently, their pitch – determined by the architectural and material makeup of the space. The strings resonate through the walls they are attached to. Each had a radically different sonic imprint and allowed the space itself to sound as the instrument.
