Cycle segments in installation form

Cycle segments in installation form

In Cycle Installation the segments are each 1.75 metres tall and are in a circle 4 meters by 4 metres. The 9 segments are made out of an MDF base with 4 centimetre MDF planks stuck together and screwed in from the bottom. The polystyrene balls were sculpted to fit each undulating segment then attached. The whole of each segment was then covered in plaster and painted white.

This picture shows how each segment flows into each other and is connected. The pieces can be thought of as looped just like the audio tracks are. This wave shape, as highlighted by the balls, is echoed in the pulsing of the light and the pitch of the voices, creating a central unity within.

I created a system of representing music graphically. It assists creatively to see the shape of the music with each box representing a semi-quaver and each pitch matching the wavelength to the visible light spectrum. This image shows the start of the Cycle Composition.

This Music Scroll is from an earlier project which has directly influenced my Cycle Installation. This started my journey into looking at the links between music and art and how they can be integrated and represented as one.

This was my original project looking at waves. I created a stop motion animation of all of these images with matching audio parts that looped. This was the starting point that led me to Cycle Installation.

My practice incorporates physical and audible works culminating in interdisciplinary installations inspired by imperfections within repetitive actions.

My practice is very conceptual and is centred around the human experience. I explore the concept of individuals both affect on and affected by time and space, to create unique events which define all moments going forward and how this is a continuous cycle creating life. One of my strengths is an ability to amalgamate different art mediums and art forms to create work in my unique style. I have a background in maths, music and dance and incorporate all into my art. In my work I aim to show the progressions of time and space and the interdependence of everything. I use the strong connections between pure art and other creative expression to show connectivity between individual artistic disciplines.
