From the series FarmerFlorist, 2016
My ongoing project FarmerFlorist explores the vibrant local 'artisan' cut-flower farms which have recently sprung up in the UK and is a celebration of domestic growers past and present.
The Workforce Symphony, 2017
The new soundscape The Workforce Symphony has been produced using a mixture of field recordings, interviews and oral history archives to produce a narrative that explores the rhythmic sounds created by industrial machinery, the patterns of voices recounting stories and the natural environment. The composition is layered with sound recordings gathered from factories, workshops, vintage industrial machinery, parks, wildlife and interviews with retired industrialists and manipulated to mimic the sounds of industry or stretched, repeated and reversed to produce new and unexpected audio samples.
