‘Transition’ works are a series in which the artist has inverted amplifiers and speakers by emptying out their inside components and reinserted the parts as visual components onto cotton and linen canvases. The wires puncture in and out of the canvas to create a visual composition. Connected to power, each canvas retains their functional role with a set sound and volume level.
The Transition canvases are a body of work in which the artist has emptied
out the inside components of guitar amplifiers and stage monitors, she
then reinserts the elements as visual components onto linen canvases. The
wires puncturing in and out of the fabric to create a visual composition.
When connected to power, each canvas retains its functional role with a
set sound and volume level. In the exhibition, three Transition works will be
connected to the work “Barricade #2” , a work composed by a set of twelve
microphones arranged in a triangle formation, each side’s output is fed
through a separate canvas in the space. Creating a sonic negative space
within the borders of the triangle itself. The arrangement and structure of
the microphone stands acts as both barrier and enabler as the performative
space in “Barricade #2” is compressed both physically and sonically. The
performer and performance are contained inside the border of the triangle,
but upon activation the sound is funneled to the gallery walls, filling the
architectural space of the gallery. The cables on the gallery floor double as
a sketch or gallery plan of the transmitted sound.
