Part of my artistic practice has been the exploration of sound. I collect audio field recordings and digitally alter them until I am satisfied that they reflect the nature of the environment in abstraction while referencing my emotional and sensory reaction to the original. Sound sources range from city centres to those captured bushwhacking through wilderness. The altered audio compositions are paired with paintings to encourage further contemplation of the imagery and vice versa. However, the soundscapes and the paintings can be experienced separately without the addition of the other.
