Invisible Waves Medium: Found, wooden, radio-receiver, 2 x sets of vintage headphones, interior light, looped sound track : duration 20.15 mins. Dims: Box: h.35 x w.30 x d.25 cms - variable installation “Invisible Waves” is a new work inspired by an artist's residency at Sirius Art Centre Cobh, Co Cork Ireland (previously known as Queenstown) in the summer of 2014. It offers a particular way of encountering the past from a range of sources: each contribute a particular point of view that neither complements or contradicts each other but instead builds to a conclusion that asks the listener to create her own sense from the sonic assemblage. The history of early technological communication, memory and commemoration are central motifs. Poetic rather than didactic, the piece offers multiple possible interpretations of the same event through several voices, in different registers as opposed to a linear, singular, one-way, directed story.
