About Chime

Chime is the first study I made whose primary concern shifts from the volumes within a given space, to the lines defining those volumes.

The drawing is double exposed, in such a way that there are both white highlight lines and darker shadow lines, reversed through the neg. The intention was to create a study that is as much about the line as it is about sculpting form.

Much of the work I’m making is intended to explore and unpack ideas surrounding the making of the haptic or gestural mark, how it works, who can use it, and how to harness the energy it can create within the picture plane.

The volumes themselves are, of course, simple cylindrical forms, much like bar chimes, and can be viewed as a rhythmic homage to the first techno track to enter the charts in 1990, Orbital’s seminal Chime.

The whole project continues to riff on ideas more typically encapsulated by contemporary music production, editing, overlaying, remixing and so on. An electronic continuum of the myriad ways in which music and visual abstraction have become intertwined over the past century or so.
