Artists statement
Studio improvisation
Installed 8th – 9th August 2026
Two circular mirrors, polystyrene beads, blue and red light, and layered sound. Echo operates as a device of repetition across both the visual and sonic material. The work suggests an oscillation between microscopic and infinite scales.
If the sublime can be understood as emerging through this instability of scale over time, Gilbert Simondon’s theory of individuation becomes relevant. For Simondon, the individual is never complete or self-contained, but emerges through an ongoing process of individuation while retaining the unresolved, preindividual potential from which it formed.
Echo acts as feedback between scales. Continually re-fed, reflected and repeated, it sustains a tension that never fully resolves into equilibrium or fixed substance.

Wanting to push my creativity as far as I can, I wanted to see if I could improvise a sound and sculpture installation in under four days.
Beneath the offices where I work are a series of audio studios for burgeoning musicians. When the studio owner told me they were moving out, I negotiated to use one of the empty spaces over a weekend.
Far from a sterile white cube, each studio has LED lighting around the walls, with hue control. So a very loaded space, but I very interesting one.
This wasn’t a public exhibition, more an opportunity to see what I could do if pushed, establish my practice and document the evidence for future work.
Very big thank-you to Dominic for so kindly letting me use the space!
