Walk and Walk, PhD research (2015), 4.26 minutes, is a sound piece, which uses the echoing voice, repetition of language and word games to explore the concept of flashbacks and anchor the fragility of remembering a traumatic event. Overlapping language begins to make audible the idea that memory is not linear and doesn’t arise from a straightforward remembering, rather it meanders, wanders and repeats.

The Dead, Plymouth City Museum & Art Gallery, 2015-2016. Made for '48 Portraits,' by Gerhard Richter. I started exploring how the names felt in my mouth, the difficulty of their pronunciation. Alongside my voice are layered recordings from exhibition openings at the Tate and the Berlin Biennale. The echo, whispers and delays are reminiscent of the first line of a Billy Collins poem: "The dead are always looking down on us, they say."
