Embodied Cacophonies is a solo multidisciplinary installation. It has been living, breathing and shifting since February 2024. Installed in the Upper Gallery of Lindisfarne Castle, a space where the wind pushes at stone walls, salt clings to the air, and memory feels thick in the atmosphere.

The work holds many forms. It’s sculptural, sonic tactile, and temporal. At its core, it’s a kind of listening structure. A space to explore how stories move through materials and how light and sound can bend time. And how a landscape spekas if you make space to hear it.

The installation is deeply site-specific and has changed since installation. Its sculptural forms are built from limestone - set on the island for 6 months to weather, change, and erode. Alongside the limestone setts are manufactured elements like fiber optics and textiles embroidered with graphic scores.

The sound composition was built from field recordings captured across Lindisfarne. Including the sea, wind, sea lions, the interior acoustics of the castle, the causeway, and conversations with islanders and visitors. I’ve layered in the sounds of the double bass, interviews, liminal spaces, and moments of breat and stillness. The composition isn’t played in a fixed sequence. Instead it’s triggered by proximity sensors as people move through the space.

Presence shifts the sound.
