Looped
Threshold to the Kingdom 2000 is a single channel colour video projection consisting of slow motion footage of people arriving at London City Airport soundtracked by Miserere, a seventeenth-century setting of the Bible’s fifty-first psalm by the Italian composer Gregorio Allegri (c.1582–1652). The gateway into the UK becomes the threshold to heavens holding area.
Sound Music Noise
This series of works explore just a few of the ways that sound and music are represented. The connection with performance and the music of John Cage is important here because although it may not be so evident in the work, Cage has probably influenced not only music but also the visual arts more than perhaps any other artist; Cage changed the way we listen.
