Navigating through wide open natural spaces nurtures our innate abilities, such as listening and recognising rhythms. In this digital commission, I photographed my hand carvings in found wood, which have been virtually wrapped around to form digital sculpture renders of pillars.
My poem, depicted across the series of renders emulating tree trunks with carved love messages found in public spaces, is an ode to the rediscovery of local public green spaces through a musician's longing for a performance space written during the first COVID-19 lockdown. The sculptures playfully invite viewers to read and walk virtually, helping them to focus on their own rhythm whilst travelling through AORA's virtual space. As the viewer takes virtual steps, walking down the length of the space, the rhythm is echoed in the series of renders.
