The Song and The Object

My current research interests span Anthropology- Material Culture, Social Psychology - Affect Theory and the Psychology of Music. I have always been drawn to objects that have had a life and so carry meaning and the hope of connection to those who have held them, owned them or simply occupied the same space as them.

I am a singer and wish to discover what the human voice, through song, can bring to the emotional resonances of my visual art practice. To that end I am exploring domestic Ceramics and Song, the sort of 'delph' and song I grew up with. I want to gain an understanding of how the visual artist uses commonly understood 'languages' to create emotive spaces through a deeper exploration of evocative, familiar objects and songs.
