Working on paintings, drawings and audio right now with the help of my studio guardian Milla Belle.
I have been editing audio recordings and thinking about the idea of finding a place where only natural sounds can be heard - no motors from cars, boats, planes or trains. It is not easy to find such a place. I have come close but I can almost always hear road noise in the distance or a plane or boat come by while I am recording.
This search for silence is similar to the idea of finding a place to see the stars with no interference from the "glow" of a city or town or street lights.
My audio installation at French and Michigan will be about this search for silence in Louisiana. I have collected recordings from fields, nature preserves and parks, neighborhoods and churches late at night and early in the morning and sometimes in odd places near the freeway between cities.
