My practice explores ways of creating autonomous sound works that engage with objects and materials as ongoing operational sites of ecologies. Through the recognition of the natural forces that occupy these materials, experimental metallurgical processes can examine their inherent nature as moving, transforming and shifting forces in complex systems of relations. Through minimal compositions of steel and embedded electronic components, a framework forms upon which these objects and their inherent ecologies can be given a voice or sonic agency, allowing them to form dialogues within themselves and their surroundings.
