White Noise

White Noise

(2018)

The ‘White Noise’ series is a way to process and bring beauty to something that didn’t feel beautiful to me. This body of work investigates my relationship with my sudden deafness. When my hearing dropped I began to experience a different relationship with sound and became interested in the simplicity of movement. I developed a phantom sound called tinnitus; a persistent, loud and unrelenting radio static. The paintings are calm, with muted colours and minimal lines to pare back the excess and focus on what can be said through simplifying movements.
