ART GALLERY
• Max Eastley’s sound sculpture
‘Landscape’ uses an embedded motor
and magnets to move metal fragments
across a canvas surface to create a
subtle sound landscape.

Sound Matters considers the
connections between craft and sound
art through seven contemporary works
from a range of creative disciplines.
Each work demonstrates a different
approach: looking to traditional craft
heritage and processes such as weaving
and woodturning to create new sound
forms, playing with shared technologies
and language and revealing the sounds
of materials.
• Keith Harrison’s film ‘Lucie Rie vs
Grindcore’ shows two potter’s wheels
adapted to become turntables. One
playing grindcore metal and the other
scratching, via the arm needle, through
clay slip to create a clay record
referencing Rie’s sgraffito decorative
technique.
• Studio Weave’s ‘Polyphony’ is a spun
aluminium ‘ear’ which separates,
abstracts and re-organises external
sounds via a sphere of funnels in which
the visitor stands.
• Dominic Wilcox and Yuri Suzuki’s
‘Sounds of Making in East London’
documents the sounds of 21 skilled
makers at work
With its equal emphasis on sound and
form, Sound Matters offers a multisensory engagement with craft, with
each work demanding to be heard as
well as seen.
