Demystifying the Narrative is situated at the intersection between sonic art performance and a mixed-media/textile installation combined with a new electronic musical interface. Reflecting on the turbulent and notable year of 2020, this interactive audio-visual installation critically explores the dominant narratives in the cultural and media landscape through abstract expression of sounds and visual representation via handmade installation. In doing so, this work captures the sounds of repetition, repudiation, contradiction, and omission while representing chaos, instability, despair and unsightly beauty via a large-scale interactive installation.
