I am principally a sound artist, though my arts practice explores
a broad and diverse range of artistic practices which incorporate
sound as a medium for creative expression. This includes sound,
multimedia and installation art, immersive environments,
experimental music production, live performance and sound
design. My interest in sound and it’s aesthetic value stems from
sounds ability to have profound affect on an individual or collective
group of people, on a spiritual, emotional and neurological level.
My practice is strongly influenced by research into perception,
phenomenology and embodiment and their relationship to sound,
immersive and new media art. I am also inspired by ancient and
indigenous cultures, modern design aesthetics, landscape and
nature. I seek to explore the juxtapositions and intersections
between technology and nature, the intellectual and the spiritual,
and philosophy and science through my work.
I have exhibited and performed works within Australia and abroad
at venues and events such as: The Design Research Institute
(Melbourne), Federation Square (Melbourne), Melbourne
Town Hall (Melbourne), 7th Annual Streaming Festival (The
Netherlands), Gallery One Three (Melbourne), Rainbow Serpent
Festival (Melbourne), Earth Frequency Festival (Brisbane)
and The Solar Eclipse Festival (Far North Queensland).
I have also worked as sound artist/designer on inter-modal
installations, films, animations and performances and produces
music under variety of alias’s. I also recently completed a Bachelor
of Fine Arts at RMIT, Melbourne where I graduated with distinction.
