Ghost On A Wire 2 (at Objectifs, Singapore)

A large silk hanging 'Entrances and Exits' (2015) included in the group exhibition of 18 artists from the United Kingdom and Singapore, at Objectifs Centre for Photography and Film, Singapore. Ghost On A Wire 2, curated by Gavin Maughfling and Suzanne de Emmony. The theme is mediated communication. The title, ‘Ghost On the Wire’, is a borrowing from how the philosopher Gilbert Ryle described the mind as ‘the Ghost in the Machine.’

The ‘wire’ can be seen as our channel for communication – the human voice, the gaze, language, books, a telephone cable, satellite signal, Skype, the computer screen, CCTV, recorded forest sounds, text, email. The ‘ghost’ might take many forms: the misunderstanding of a word or a look, an error in translation, a technical glitch, interference in transmission, or the barriers created by time and loss.
My piece is a silk hanging detailing episodes from the end of a relationship.
