_(im/ex)plosion_beyond delirium into a field of potential_<<afterglow/oscillation>>_
![]()
you find yourself to be drifting
beyond delirium into a field of potential
cloaked in sound
strobe pierces open/closed eyes
interior/exterior space collapse into one
you become simultaneously embodied/disembodied
dissociation slowed to breakthrough
easing into a continuum
seeking equilibrium
iterating into oblivion
(im/ex)plosion
where once was light
an afterimage remains
solidity dissipates
warmth pulsates
tone lowers
the air is shifted
into a rhythm
that which resides with(in/out)
rupture / rapture
(ex/im)plosion
where energy does not flow it becomes stagnant, desire calcifies;
the bastardisation of unconscious melody into malady
held in this tension
hardened by inaction
and the inability to articulate
that which is beyond words
catharsis never comes
tension remains
we quake in glory
held at the point of absolute dazzle
a whole body guided by sympathetic objects such as these
bearers of dreams
translating cataclysmic frequency into vibrational becoming
and it is known that this movement can’t last forever
but it is vital, it is life
a swooning mesmeric instance
total velocity + complete stillness collide
illusions of individualism dissolve
the interior becomes exterior
transforming us into vessels in ecstasy

Catharsis never came
It would never be enough
Scream collapsed into whimper
Held at the point of absolute dazzle
In the white heat of tension
Slow burn self-actualisation emerges
cloaked in sound
I am shedding
An urge of renunciation
Restraint and release
Inherent in the object
Brought about by care + chaos
Labour + ecstasy
I become
A threshold dancer in continual unfurling
Where else would I wish to be
When all there is
Is to step into the field of polarity
All things come to pass through this space
Oscillating ad infinitum
total velocity + complete stillness collide
illusions of individualism dissolve
the interior becomes exterior
transforming us into vessels in ecstasy
I am there
As it goes
As it shall be
To you I give a breakage
To you I give an image
A sensation
A lament to this projection of self
I wish not for transference
But for transmutation
…
Arise

As I walk around this site, circumambulating it’s winding paths, I feel the magnetism;
cycles of growth + decay, nature pushing + pulling against man-made structures.
A patchwork of fields surrounds me.
Iteration + repetition so tangible, like the military operations that have taken place here over + over again, now claimed by community.
The landscape + all its tales seep into your pores in some sort of osmosis.
Marks of experience, to unpack + unfurl. Memories held in stone.
The air thick with data, holding many years, many lives. Passing through + around us, swirling, invisible but felt, unlocking echoes held in the body.
We have been here before; I remember this place.
Time is an energy, to expand + contract. Layered at different speeds and directions.
Past + future collapse. For a memory can change, a history is malleable.
As the expanse of futurity slowly converges into the present, possibilities fizzle into the aether, floating above, merging with the sounds of time.
Ghosts + echoes ring in a field of static // We are radiating energy // In continual expansion + contraction.
Interacting // oscillating.
Each a centre to meditate upon.
Sounds radiate from my core, my aura merges with yours.
As a whole body.
A spectrum expanded + collapsed.

A series of quilts with an accompanying multichannel live + pre-recorded sound work taken from + inspired by ‘circumambulations’, wanderings, around + through Maker.
Time, + its vast array of speeds, directions, liveness, echoes of the past + future, are materials for expression.
Sound, performance + quilt making are different manifestations of time
- meditative labour / sensory immediacy -
these differences dissolve when merged together, activating each other.
The repetitive yet meditative labour of quilt making reflects both the regimentation of the military history + current creative abundance of Maker, a patchwork of experiences, phenomena + temporalities culminating into the present moment.
Quilting is a deeply embodied, meditative, + ritualistic creative process,
synthesizing technological visual language, craft traditions + rhythms of time into techno-spiritual objects.
RGB // CMY – the quilts consist of 10 shades of each of the primary colours of light:
(R)ed, (G)reen, (B)lue + their inversions (C)yan, (M)agenta, (Y)ellow. Splitting light into physical matter via the alchemical process of quilting.
Sound is an energy, activating a space + the bodies within it.
Tuning into environments, I started to listen to every one of my footsteps, how I echoed in a space, how the space resonated back.
A back + forth relationship – an oscillation.
Every moment became a potential field recording, a reflective activity.
Echoes, radiating patterns to meditate upon, to hypnotise, to dream.
Comprised of polarities, Maker weaves itself into a place of ambiguity, a place in perpetual motion,
fluctuating between defence / sanctuary, industry / rest, past / present, growth / decay, natural / preternatural,
from which transcendent experience may arise.
Quilts are made for dreaming under;
join us in this ecstatic glitch.
