distance sounds clearer
through water

I record the sounds that make up distance sounds clearer through water while working on the sculptures for my thesis project, which the soundpiece would later accompany. During play and fabrication, each material - paper, tarp, ceramic, rock - moves and makes sound that will not manifest in the static result. These sounds trace how these materials behave with me, guide me,  speak to me, before they rearrange and congeal into independent works. I gather them here to share my world of things in their previous forms and the intimate tactile conversations that we had.

At the same time, distance presents an alternative channel through which my sculptures can extend into the exhibition space and touch the beholder where they could not, reverberating through the ears and hollows of the body. To be present with art entails loosening our boundaries to let our thoughts and sensations through, whereby we can sense and work with what is not here - histories, futures, and other possibilities for living in the world.
