Mind, Unlocked: The Soundscape of Creative Revelation
I use sound as part of my artistic practice—across installation, video poetry, and live environments.
​
It is not accompaniment. It alters perception.
​
Sound bypasses language and works directly on the body. It can disorient, ground, expand, or hold.
I use it to shift how experience is felt, not just understood.
​
Gongs and singing bowls are not just instruments. They are fields of resonance—complex, layered, and unpredictable. They bypass the mind’s preference for pattern, gently shifting attention and internal state.
Unlike structured music, they do not resolve in familiar ways. They move through the body, not around it.​
Listen
​I work with multiple gongs and instruments, creating shifting sonic landscapes rather than a single tonal field.
​​
​I also create live sound environments, often beginning with a simple creative act—writing, painting, or scroll-making—then introduce sound to alter perception, allowing new patterns to emerge.
My Experience
Sound has been integral to my artistic practice — woven into installations, film, and performance as both texture and meaning.
Sound journeys are also grounded in an academic understanding of attention states and resonance, with sound as a medium for processing and integration. Therefore I use it in my installations to promote a sense of circling—or communion with others—as well as calm. ​
