EMANATIONS

"Emanations" was originally concieved as a sound installation to accompany Claire Giovanniello's white paintings wrapped in gauze. And elegant sculptural works consisting of nails and thin aluminium rods driven into the gallery walls in precise geometric patterns. [...]. "Emanations" is entended to be heard at extremely low volume for very long durations, using the "repeat" function of the CD player to create a continuous sound environment. The long silences which occur periodically throughout the piece are not meant to divide it into distinct sections; I think of them as places where the sound has simply evaporated for a few moments, gradually resuming its shape and returning to our field of awareness. A suivre.
