THE QUIETER YOU ARE, THE MORE YOU CAN HEAR BY PETER MCMASTER

Since January 2018, Peter has been making sure that his first child Skye, has got off to sleep as best as he can, but it hasn’t always been easy. In fact, sometimes it has been absolute hell. In this intimate and warming recording, Peter has taken the time to reflect on this experience of bed-time routine, and  as an act of marking it has lovingly worked with Skye to offer a routine for you, for before you go to sleep.

Created using recordings with Skye both awake and asleep, they both hope that The Quieter You Are, The More You Can Hear comforts you in the small hours before sleep.

ABOUT PETER MCMASTER

Peter McMaster is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Bowling, West Dumbartonshire, Scotland. His award-winning practice ranges from intimate solo performance works, large ensemble theatre pieces and land-based installations. He is a lover of the local, the amateur and the outside.

THE SACRED ART OF CHEWING BY MAC MCGREGOR

Chewing is sacred to me. What would your sacred be? 

Mac was primarily an installation artist, often site specific. She explored and brought attention to things often overlooked: the fabric and structure of a space, how it was traversed or perceived and its history.

Her life and work have changed. Mac became disabled in 1991 and subsequently ill.  She now creates works using domestic items which are discarded such as chewing gum. The act of chewing is sacred to her. It reflects her ability to speak and create in three dimensions - not just in her head. This piece is about listening, observing and finding sanctuary in the things we do every day.
