My research is primarily focused on exploring the intersections between place, self and compositional practices. I am interested in the dialogues that can exist across temporalities, and how these dialogues can be represented through audio-visual compositions that incorporate both physical and aural aspects of the landscape. Along the way, I touch on autoethnography, sonification, psychogeography, field recording, sound art practices and sound-mapping.
For an in-depth dive into my practice, where I discuss my methodology, conceptual influences and the creative processes behind a selection of my work, you can read my PhD thesis, which I submitted in 2023 at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts: The cartographies of place: Approaches to audio-visual composition incorporating aspects of place.
To read my discussion on how digital technologies can be used to reconnect artistic practice with place, and the importance of not being constrained by technology, check out my chapter, Artist and Agency: Technologies for Exploring Self and Place in the book Creative Tools and the Softwarization of Cultural Production (2024), published by Palgrave Macmillan.
