CROSSING PATHS
Sound and Light Installation
The phrase ‘crossing paths’ describes a meeting between two people, usually by chance.
Crossing Paths is an artwork that explores random movement and spontaneous decision-making. The visuals and the audio are created uniquely each time the piece plays, determined by the behaviour of a group of ‘snakes’.

A SINGLE POINT IN TIME
Sound and Light Installation
A Single Point In Time describes the impossibility of measuring time at any specific moment. No matter how small a unit of measurement is used, there will always be the possibility for events to happen between those units. The harder you try to capture a snapshot of time for a closer listen, the more complex the moment you are studying becomes.
Originally created as a 64-channel digital artwork, A Single Point In Time has since been reworked into an 100-channel version to fit a 10x10 LED frame.
FOREST FIRE
Interactive Sound and Light Installation
Forest Fire is an artwork created around the 'Forest Fire' mathematical model that explores self-limiting properties in stochastic systems. Trees randomly grow, and fires randomly break out and spread. The viewer determines the likelihood of each event, and watches as the state of equilibrium in the system shifts.
Forest Fire was created in collaboration with Edward Crane, a specialist in probability, analysis, and dynamics, during my time as Artist-in-Residence with University of Bristol School of Mathematics.

SUPERGOLDEN APPROXIMATIONS
Interactive Sound and Light Installation
Supergolden Approximations is an artwork that questions how much detail is required to fully understand something. It is a piece of music that grows step-by-step, following the substitution rule associated with the supergolden ratio. Each step taken is a more detailed look at the piece, and a better approximation of the ratio. It explores how infinitely detailed objects can be described using the simplest building blocks.
Supergolden Approximations was created in collaboration with Felix Flicker, Henna Koivusalo, and Demi Allen, specialists in aperiodic order, fractal geometry and Diophantine approximation, during my time as Artist-in-Residence with University of Bristol School of Mathematics.

WAVEFORMS
Interactive Audiovisual Artwork
Waveforms is an artwork that explores the aperiodic sequences created from two irrational numbers (the golden and silver ratios), and their fractal-like properties, through the medium of musical rhythm and pitch.
Waveforms was created in collaboration with Felix Flicker, Henna Koivusalo, and Demi Allen, specialists in aperiodic order, fractal geometry and Diophantine approximation, during my time as Artist-in-Residence with University of Bristol School of Mathematics.

BLOCKING MEASURES
Interactive Light and Sound Installation
Blocking Measures is an artwork exploring probability. It takes a simple, unpredictable event (a particle randomly moving left or right) and looks at the levels of complexity that can emerge when several of these particles are left to interact with each other.
Blocking Measures was created in collaboration with Márton Balázs, a specialist in stochastic interacting particle systems, during my time as Artist-in-Residence with University of Bristol School of Mathematics.

BALANCE
Immersive VR Audio Installation
Balance deconstructs a musical composition, inviting listeners to move throughout an instrumental ensemble setup, hearing the music from a unique perspective.
Balance was commissioned as part of Digital Catapult and Arts Council England's 2018/19 CreativeXR scheme.
