Artist's Statement"My work is often installed in public not specifically art spaces; a performance on a pedestrian bridge over the Clyde, an installation on a public transport system and pavements in Johannesburg, a garage in London. My work explores boundaries between public and private space and also, storytelling and how mundane objects come to contain memories. I use both traditional and digital media: drawing, brass rubbing, sound and performance. I work alternately between the isolation of my studio, and working with other people within their context." |

| Listen to: John's cuckoo story and poem I have been recording the cuckoo, it follows everywhere, even calling at night. I had only seen one once before coming to Tanera... suddenly I see them everywhere, they have a territory that seems to surround the house I stay in, they sit in the trees, sometimes two at a time calling... the bay below seems to act as an amplifier. As I have been recording the cuckoo and playing the sound back, stories of the cuckoo have been accumulating. They seem to have been amassing as the days go by, the more that are told, the more connections, conflicting and curious are stumbled upon. I was always told that you could call a cuckoo in by calling, well these cuckoos come from all round the globe... |
