Kirsty StansfieldMy work explores how sound can mediate the body’s relationship to each other and to the physical environment. This is achieved through the creation of interactive sound installations and sonic sculptures which only come to life through an audience’s engagement with them. This process of engagement stimulates conversations and opportunities for further exchange between the artist and audiences who may not necessarily go to an art gallery.
In recent projects I have worked with string-musicians, dancers, a choreographer and a group of elderly women living in a nursing home to develop the performative and sonic possibilities of my interactive sound work. Most recently this work was carried out during a Partners residency with Art in Hospital, culminating in a solo exhibition at Tramway’s Project Room, March 2007.
I am currently undertaking a practice-led PhD at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, entitled “Sound as Interface”.
