Havent really been sure what to write on here, but I guess that I'll state what I've been doing.

At the moment and over Christmas I've been trying to come up with a new idea on how and where I can take this project, so far I havent been able to come up with anything... but I'm still working, been making things out of wire and I have an idea for making a free standing piece too.

I plan to make a free standing piece out of pieces of aluminium or steel. My aim is to bend the metal to create a piece that mimics the way in which sound travels, ie sound waves that I have recorded using my laptop.

During November and December, I was doing print making and making things out of wire. I had to first scratch out the sound waves, I recorded, on acetate and print them using oil based ink. After I had printed individual images, I chose to print each print on top of each other, as the card I was using was still wet with water. My results were interesting. The image I had printed was slightly haired, giving off an effect, which made me think of the ghost notes in drumming, or a reverberating string.

With my wire experiments, I've been making sound waves/ or shock waves that are easily interacted with by people viewing the piece. The basic idea behind it is, if someone was walking around the exhibition space, they would walk into the pieces and if they were to look up at the piece, they would see these shock waves riding up the wire giving off the illusion that they had set off the shock waves and that they werent there.
