The Speaker
Susan Hawkins
15 — 31 March 2019
Opening Reception: 15 March 2019, 6 - 9pm
In an industrial site on a Sunday, listening to all the sounds outside the studio. The wind whistling through pipes, then hitting plastic strapping and birds singing on barbed wire. What is basic sound? And how do these sounds put together make a composition? When music is made, a composition is arranged. When a visual artist is putting together a work, they too are composing.
Working with sound artist Joseph Burgess, Susan Hawkins will bring sounds from her studio to make a simple composition into something quite extra ordinary. The Speaker comprises three large drums, one speaker and one harp made from salvaged objects around the artist's studio.
