about

2021. I can no longer remember when I realised: rather than hearing the dog bark, the hawk screech, the traffic or the child, I instead heard the forest, the mountain, the rock-face, the city. It was something more than the spaces speaking in their acoustic reflections. These encounters contradicted normal perception, and became transformative experiences during my walks through the landscape.

For me these areas now contained more layers of meaning than immediately evident to the eye and ear. 'Speaking Spaces' is a series of works that explore alternative conceptions of common space. Without knowing what to call this first composition I stumbled across Foucault's concept of Heterotopia as a mirror, which seemed to embody much of what I was experiencing.

'Speaking Spaces no.1: Heterotopia' is a journey from a forest to a winter shoreline.
