Silent Conversations
Our Space
Listening Place

Beginning with the simple question ‘how long does it take for a ripple to disappear?’ This installation became a part of my dissertation presentation studying the extent to which our eyes not only reveal the world to us but determine what it is possible for us to experience and know.

Human vision is unsurprisingly advanced and unique but the world we experience with its remarkable clarity and luscious colour is in fact only one of a great number of ways that it is possible to be entangled within our surroundings of which none are inherently more useful than the next.

For some, landscapes will appear as they do it us but for many the same scene will likely appear as a series of hazy and indistinct objects forms drifting slowly from one extreme to the next, others may see in black and white or light we cannot see and, perhaps most strangely of all, the rare may not see the world in images at all.

Inspired by these limitations of what we can and cannot see ‘Our Space’ engages with how we are uniquely vulnerable to our surroundings as a single droplet descending periodically contains the potential to change us for a brief moment in time.
