SUBDECORATIVE SEQUENCES I-IV
Audio Visual art Installation with related live performances
This is a work that is unique to each location it is shown. It features graphic music notation fixed to the walls of a room, inspired and literally ‘drawn’ from the decorative aspects of the building it is shown in, accompanied by a subtle amplification of the resonant frequency of the space. Whilst it is a stand alone audio-visual work, it is designed to be performed via a series of live music events during the installation period.
The title SubDecorative Sequences refers to musical information derived from the design and decoration of buildings, and coupled with these buildings resonant frequencies depicted as very low sine (sub) tones. It references the way decorative arts are thought of as a lesser art to altruistic aims of fine art, and how women’s art work has historically relegated to the side lines..
