What if objects could communicate? 🔊

In COMMS FAIL, Roy Claire Potter transforms sculptural props, including large translucent drawings, into sounding objects, with audio carried through their surfaces.

Sound moves through objects, surfaces and bodies. Meaning is not only carried by words, but through pattern, rhythm, texture and environment.

🎧 Descriptions of sound and audio descriptions are available on our website.

**

Beth pe bai gwrthrychau’n gallu siarad? 🔊

Yn COMMS FAIL, mae Roy Claire Potter yn trawsnewid propiau cerfluniol, gan gynnwys arluniadau tryloyw mawr, yn wrthrychau lle mae’r sain yn cael ei chario trwy eu harwynebau.

Mae sain yn symud drwy wrthrychau, arwynebau a chyrff. Nid geiriau yn unig sy’n cario ystyr ond patrwm, rhythm, gwead ac amgylchedd.

🎧 Mae disgrifiadau o sain a sain-ddisgrifiadau ar gael ar ein gwefan.

“Being able to bring [...] iterative ways of working into the foreground of the practice is a really important development for me. As an autistic person, I think quite a lot of the ways that I’ve worked have been a little bit like a one-man band. The commission offered an opportunity to develop ways of working in teams.”
