StevenLeave a comment
Here is another sample image (not the full one) for my response to the Noise Project Week 5 – The Senses.
This is now the half way point for the project. I have to complete 10 challenges, using noise and sound as an influence.
I followed the brief below to create the image.

NOISE CHALLENGE #5: THE SENSES
What colour is the sound of springtime? What does the sound of gridlock taste like? Feel like? This week spend some time sifting through the hazy layers of noise that make up your everyday. Explore the way these sounds affect your senses, your body, your daily experience. You have one week to discover and share your mixed-sensory noise experience.

I followed the brief below to create the image.

NOISE CHALLENGE #4: THE SOUNDTRACK
Choose one song on your mp3 player and choose one day this week (or multiple days if you wish) to play this song on repeat. On these days, you are only allowed to listen to this one song. Listen to it when traveling to work or school. Listen to it on your lunch break. Take a long walk and listen to it again, and again, over and over. Let the song inflitrate your everyday experience. You have 1-week to create some kind of response to this multi-sensory experience.

I followed the brief below to create the image.

NOISE CHALLENGE #3: THE EMPTY
This week spend some time exploring an “empty” space (or place), manufactured or natural. Consider the creative potential of this space… its acoustics, its untold story, its emotional content. You have 1 week to find an “empty” space and change it, transform it, or influence it, through your physical interactions.

Another page from my Memoir Project Submission. Clown Noses. This is one of my first attempts at concrete poetry. Just thought I’d try something new. I’m not too sure that this page is quite representative of the book as a whole or if it is even a memoir, but I think it is quite an interesting image that makes use of words and imagery.

Below is a sample (not the full image) from my response to Week 2 of the Noise Intercepted project. More on this at my previous blog post. The Noise Project is run by the Toronto based arts organsiation – Labspace Studio.
For this image I followed the brief below. The title of the week’s challenge was ‘The Little Things’.


NOISE CHALLENGE #2: THE LITTLE THINGS
This week spend some time paying attention to the little things…. the sounds that you tend to ignore and the seemingly insignificant noises that you take for granted. You have 1 week to listen, identify and select one “insignificant” sound and transform it into something “significant.”

The Memoir Project is run by the Arhouse co-op in Brooklyn New York, where they have asked 500 writers and artists to complete a 32 page booklet and turn it into a Memoir. This is from the same organisation who run The Sketchbook Project, where I created my book – ‘Fashion Design For Monsters‘. My Memoir is called ‘Clown Noses’ and is a series of poems and pictures, making use of concrete poetry and imagery to act as a Memoir. The Book will go on tour in various cities in North America. More on this later, but below is an image from my book. I won’t be posting up all the pages, just a selection.

The Sketchbook Project asks artists of all levels to complete a small book with ideas, drawings and sketches. I recently completed my sketchbook and below a preview page can be seen. My book is called ‘Fashion Design For Monsters’. I’ve posted up several pages from this and here is another one. A quick photo taken of one of the pages.
