Hidden Noise

Hidden Noise, a site-specific installation at THE SUB-MISSION, 2013. Hidden Noise reveals the textures or ‘noises’ that are often overlooked and are unique to space. It is an installation that works with the unique aspects of the space: a low ceiling, exposed piping, brick wall, exposed outlets, support beams, and an unfinished floor, to name a few. The installation responds to the specific identity of THE SUB-MISSION to form a narrative within the construct of the space.

Working with powdered pigment, Hidden Noise begins by highlighting the natural textures of the space to create the foundation of the composition. The highlighted textures begin to reveal an underlying history of the space, suggesting past damage and general wear and tear on the different elements. Paired with objects and sculptures that also place an emphasis on the importance of color and raw materials, Hidden Noise utilizes the noise of the space to create a visceral experience.
