There Must Be Something Better Than This

Mixed media, Anthotypes,  photographic prints of fabriano paper, rust, oil, six microphone recording for binaural headphones, 2024

Speculative field studies at post industrial WWII site that explores the remains of abandoned oil tanks designed for the war effort. Encountering the dynamic interaction of plants and the surrounding environment. I have worked with and alongside plants, polluted water and soil onsite, utilising them as photographic processes and sonic artefacts. The fragility and instability of these plants using the alternative photographic Anthotype process that uses photosensitive material from plants under the influence of light. An unstable emulsion is made from crushed flower petals or any other light-sensitive plant, fruit or vegetable. Images in this series will fade and be ravaged by time and light constricted, smothered echoing the plants slow demise in toxic soils giving way to the nature of entropy.
This a exhibition 2024 at KARST contemporary art gallery UK.

will be reworked for my new ongoing project at:

buried deep in the mix are two morse code patterns playing two separate ride cymbals --

left channel: "resident evil"
right channel: "a secure place"

as to the track, it's a mashup of two "resident evil 2" tracks - "secure place (save room)" and "ada's theme". there are also nods to bjork's track "play dead" and the guitar work of the cure. i went for a motoric beat to hold things together, before fading out with a sample from a company called "Ethereal 2080" (ds_bitter_sweet_textured_piano_loop_80_dm_wet")

a secure place for ada
