video

short films made with images and sound. have a look.

wall hung copper based artwork made nicer by touching

its aim is kind of to blur the boundary between artwork, installation, instrument and sculpture
took longer than expected to make, mainly because i go out quite a lot or lie on the floor lisnin’ to music
it makes a surprisingly wide variety of noises, all of them loud
thanks to tina for filming me and taking the photos and to dad for helping me make it in his shed
