Looking at my work

When looking at all the elements that I explored within my work; from the repetitive layering of the stitch, printed on the sublimation material that I created, the pieces of materials that I chose to dye, to the sound pieces that I created with the freestyle spoken word, to the instrumentation and layered composition within the recordings - this echoes the ideas or elements of the non-linear - like the rhizome that Gilles Deleuze talks of. What I mean by this is that with the material that is printed, there is this sense of not knowing where time is at - coming or going?...this also echoes in the piece of music, where I sampled a previous vocal recording, that I chose to layer up with other vocals and harmonise and by using pitch to create deeper tones, creating a sense of a heartbeat - not knowing where it would start or finish.
