Flighty Whispers, a video


“At a recent work shop on sound symbolism in Atlanta, Georgia, he reported that "wh" words associated with words that describe the production of noises such as "whisper", "whine" or "whirr", and those beginning with "fl" that tend to signal movement in the air, such as "fly" or "flail", also enjoyed this fast track in the brain's processing. Bergen concludes that these may all be forms of sound symbolism.”

Pride & Prejudice shortened further

By method of erasure I reduced Pride & Prejudice to descriptions pertaining to movement in, or descriptions of, space, past, present possible plus anything to do with letters – I did the same with Sense & Sensibility and Persuasion. This involves the movement of people, descriptions of rooms or houses, the drives to Pemberley, the crucial letters in each story. Pride & Prejudice was reduced further to spoken reading of 30 to 40 minutes duration – whilst still being recognisable to close readers of Jane Austen. This piece is the third layer: just the verbs of the original erasure version, the skeleton of space and movement in it – and the important letters. Is there anything recognisable to anyone else other than me? Could these be instructions for a performance?
This piece was recorded in the airing cupboard.

The work was "shown" in Dublin
