When Sight meets Sound - In Transit
This is the second project in which I incorporated sound into the installation. The project involved digitally painting the images and then printing them on canvas. Then after printing they were adjusted using acrylic paint.
Project Statement: Visualization is a thinking process - a brain function. With visualization the scene’s blank corners begin to fill; questions arise, thus producing the interaction of another sense: Sound. Sound is the outcome of thought. Sight or sound, in isolation, can be embracing, but empty; lacking entire fulfillment. The marrying of the two senses brings forth a third dimension. The enriched comprehension of the moment is brought into reality.
This second project in the series of itinerant exhibitions explores the function of sound in combination with the visual art experience, we examine the journey transit imposes on our lives. Nothing stays static - a body in motion stays in motion, to loosely quote Sir Isaac Newton. Moving from here to there is part of our human psyche, so much so that our society has evolved around transit. Even as we move towards a sense of locality in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint our society is still in motion; perpetually nomadic. Sounds and images in combination are evocative; descriptive. Whether we dwell in cities or in rural environs, we are a blur of motion resisting entropy. We try to fill our vacuum with the journey from here to there.

This was a joint project with Victoria Wallace, a Peterborough based artist. These project has been exhibited in various galleries in Toronto and Peterborough.
