Untitled [St Mary's Works]

Taking influence from Eugene E. Levitt's 'The Psychology of Anxiety' (1967), the sound work uses the format of a questionnaire that cannot be answered, with assumptions made and misinterpreted conclusions drawn. As opposed to the self-help nature of Levitt's book, the work helps no-one - the questions are asked of nobody, and lead to nowhere. The trolley carrying the sound around the disused shoe factory had once belonged to a Puppet theatre, and presents a jarring obstacle in the centre of the space with no obvious signs of where the sound is coming from. The jagged roll of the wheels, carved-up wooden shelves and (meat)hook that hang from the device push the listener further into the uncomfortable anxiety.
