Searching sound with sound, new installation at Newhailes
I’ve just completed a sound installation devised for the library of the atmospheric National Trust for Scotland’s Newhailes Estate. Dr Johnston once described this room as “the most learned drawing room in Europe” but its shelves are now empty.
The work was devised and created in collaboration with artist Anna Chapman whose exhibition “Subjects of Melancholy Retrospection” has drawn extensively from the books that once belonged to the library and now reside in the National Library of Scotland.
