Made between August 2012 and October 2013, all the drawings in the series record passing of time and sounds as heard from single spots in the midlands and north of England.
R J: quite lovely, the loss of space here, an impossible sound landscape. i love space defined by borders of sound. G H: The look of it, soft lines like chalk, on a slightly mottled grey- black ground, remind me of Beuys’ blackboards, often in themselves both a record of and a spring-board for discussion (sounds). The idea is reminiscent of Richard Long’s walk drawings, which aim, on occasions, to document various sensory experiences, overlaid geographically or spatially.
