All recordings [2022 -2023]

All Recordings, 2022 - 2023 is a participatory archive of sound recordings with an installation of a chair, phone and headphones, light, fabric curtain and magazine rack with risograph machine printed booklets and A4 book.

All Recordings is the result of my compulsion to hoard hours of environmental sound on two trips I took to America and back to England over 2022 - 2023. Be transported to the toilets in an American baseball stadium or in Yosemite National Park at night with my sisters or in the cafe of Leeds Art Gallery or playing the piano at home in Sheffield. In some cases, the situations recorded are more curated: interviews with my grandmother before she died, relaying my weird dreams, practicing lines for a play - but in others, they are simply reminders of a time and place which are dear and specific to me.

All Recordings is exhaustive and it is impossible to listen to the playlist in its entirety as it’s completely unfiltered.

All Recordings has been on tour - in my solo exhibition Assorted Moments at Modern Art Oxford in October 2023 and was shown in London at Ugly Duck in June 2024.
