Ciphers, 2024-

Ciphers (working title) encompasses a series of works combining assorted techniques and lines of inquiry that will result in the completed first draft of a new manuscript. Tracing the object of my investigation north from London to the Barents Sea, I will cultivate an archive of found object, ambient sound, video recordings, and other ephemera in conjunction with the writing I will be doing; both text and gathered materials could be presented in different configurations following this initial exploration. The artist as desultory cipher observes the curator as parasitic cipher and from there a narrative unfolds and unravels as both polemical and psychological fiction.

Ciphers has been generously funded by the Periculum Foundation in the Discourse Section.
