About
The work playfully explores language and how the spoken word can carry meanings that are articulated through the subtleties of intonation, intakes of breath, silences and small vocal gestures. The piece is part of Walker’s PhD research thesis, focusing on exploring how intimacy and humour is expressed and activated within sound art.
Artist Talk 9th July 3 - 4pm
Join Kim as she talks about her practice, plays a selection of sound art work and discusses her current PhD research at the University of Aberdeen.
