In 2016 One&Other Creative recruited avant-garde musician Hwyl
Nofio to create an immersive sound installation piece for Art Market,
York - an arts event (30 Sept – 2 Oct, 2016).

- Perceive then as your own
When an artist
produces a powerful work, perception is inherently ambiguous, the
ambiguity in the piece elicits both a conscious and unconscious
process of recognition in the observer, who responds emotionally and
emphatically to the work in terms of his/ her own life experience,
therefore the artist creates the work based on their own personal
sensory information and the beholder re-creates it by responding to
its inherent ambiguity and makes it personal to them.
All art is an
inherently pleasurable and instructive attempt by the artist and
beholder to communicate and share with each other the creative
process that characterises every human brain – a process that leads
to a sudden recognition that we have seen into another person’s
mind that allows us to see the truth underlying both the beauty and
the violence depicted in the work. Sound is a language all of its own
and can move us to the heights or depths of emotion. A creative work
is only completed when the beholder embraces the work. Perceive then
as your own…….

installation played continuously on a looping system in a small
darkened room containing only 12 chairs.Throughout each day of the
event an orderly queue formed, waiting patiently to enter the space .
I would like to thank One&Other Creative for the opportunity to
create the installation and everyone who came along to the event or
purchases the soundtrack download. Many thanks for your support. It
is hoped the installation will resurface for future art/music events
- stay tuned!
