			----------------------------------------------------------------------Immersion into sound. "The glazed window was an invention of great importance for the soundscape, framing external events in an unnatural phantom-like ‘silence’. ...Today one can look at one’s environment, while hearing another...” R. Murray Schafer 1993 Dancing is a bodily reaction to sound and not hearing the music the dancer moves to makes it phantom-like and silent. In order to understand the movement we need the music. The photos are taken from behind a piece of glass, framed with a grid to observe how the dancer moves within that grid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 'The house shelters daydreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace. Thought and experience are not the only things that sanction human values. The values that belong to daydreaming mark humanity in its depths.'//Gaston Bachelard// In the book Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino, Marco Polo travels the world discovering different cities and then reports back to Kublai Khan. He tells the stories of these cities, describing them as fragments that could have been his own day-dreaming. Marco Polo says to Khan: With cities, it is as with dreams: everything imaginable can be dreamed, but even the most unexpected dream is a rebus that conceals a desire or, its reverse, a fear. Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears... In the world there are both desires and fears in the daily life around us varying immensely depending on where on the planet we live. We are all in need of protection in the form of shelter and clothes, how they look alters depending on location. They are both plans to fit around us and when we need to leave the real world in order for our minds to run free they shelter the body. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A book on the ten commandments of Gilbert & George. The artist's have said in the past that they get everything they need from within a square mile so I collected books that could be found within that mile. The grid of these ten books where then put on the page in my book with the commandments eiter within or outside the grid depending on whether G&G agreed with the book or not. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Screen printed Wallpaper: 'A little bird whispered in my ear'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sketchbooks ---------------------------------------------------------------------
