Hi my name’s Oliver and I come from a designer blacksmithing background. My research matter is based on Occultist practices and my focus is to craft from waste/ recycled materials. My aim is to create sound by forming relationships between crafted objects which i construct from materials and matter which are sourced at site specific locations. These crafted objects are then powered by elemental forces or geographical attributes/ characteristics and creating art phonography time based collections. I started by collecting core research images which interested me. These images were then grouped together. The images consisted of shamanic clothing, drums, bells and protection amulets. I then proceeded to write down up to 50 words which prominently provoked thoughts in my head when I looked at the images which I had arranged on the wall of my studio. I then took the words and looked up their meanings in the dictionary. Following this I wrote down what each individual word personally meant to me. I took various colours of cotton and joined up the images with the words. The images were also joined up to look at correlations and links that were present in my Collection of visual research. I also visited a Museum in Oxford called Pitt Rivers. I found the museum to be extremely resourceful. In the back of the museum there is a dedicated room to my area of practice and research. I must say I did feel very uneasy though respectful among the collections. I took many photos of similar objects which I have found in my Visual research.
