Kitchen Sink Drama

Day 1: Amy Hirst & Damian Clark

Gurgles, grinding, sloshes and squeezes

The dying wheezy last breath of the washing up bottle….

The eerie gong of the bowl of water chimed out to mark its demise!

And so we began to imagine and explore a new world through everyday sounds.

Its great fun – though be careful not to laugh at the end of the recording…( the having to be completely silent whist making strange noises in someone else’s kitchen does bring on a little bit of giddiness!). Its amazing how once abstracted from their original environment the sounds take on a life of their own – add a bit of imagination and the grinding pepper mill becomes a man digging a through hard stony ground ….

I love the beginning of projects like this where you just don’t know where the story will take you.

Lost and Found

Damian Clark and Amy Hirst

In this project we have chosen to focus on two elements of our individual creative practices – 

Amy Hirst – Story Telling and Damian Clark - Sound Design 

We came to the decision that as we share certain similarities in our practices, especially through the process of discovery and exploration (in which the outcome is never predetermined), that we’ll be collaborating together on a multi-disciplined piece.  Our idea is that as we learn about each others practices, our creations of the day will go on to shape the next stage the process.

This is a process of evolution!

.......what will we come up with?

Get Tufting....or....Have I got my wires crossed?

After a very enjoyable couple of hours spent playing around with clay, we have developed our project ready for the firing stage....next it's onto textiles!
