These artworks address communication through voice and language and the interplay between hearing and listening (the vocal, the spoken) and seeing and reading (the visual, the written). Using collaboration and performance with field recording, digital imaging and the spoken/written word I am currently exploring an expanded approach to language within species and across species through a framework of everyday experience and the maladaptive, mixed and complex conditions that occur in our cities today. |

What is a more animal-centric world like? The third Animal Gaze symposium will bring together practitioners and academics to consider human/animal interactions and spatial practices as they manifest themselves in art and architecture. The Animal Gaze Constructed exhibition will take place in the Faculty's gallery spaces in the Aldgate campus for 3 weeks, March 6th to March 27th, 2020 (The Atrium, Goulston Street Building).
