A Shifting Thought, A Shifting Sea
This group of drawings and sounds are an exploration of the mother/child relationship, acting as a metaphor for the larger idea of cognitive flexibility- our ability as humans to switch our perspective on our world, therefor completely creating and altering our experience. The drawings are all compositions created from one image of my child as a way to very literally examine, then recreate, this relationship from multiple angles and points of view.
In some, the sounds are made only from my tools while creating the drawings, others include ambient noises. These audible marks and sounds speak of creation, destruction, frustration, and joy, all through the act of drawing. Each soundscape has a specific drawing with which it belongs, as it is made from the particular sounds of that drawing.
