Projects in Progress
2022 - Ongoing Canopies and Cathedrals: A Culturally Blended Soundscape and Contemporary Print
Sound • Gothic Writing • Printmaking • Videography • Electronic Composition • Digital Technology •Transmedial Presentation

This project is an exploration of unique aspects of Perth’s St George's Cathedral and one of the oldest Gothic cathedrals in the world, Wells Cathedral (UK.) A collaboration David Carson and Dr Sarah Robinson - West Australian artists, and MPM (a UK based electronic music ensemble) to create a culturally blended soundscape from the environs of both locations; to evoke our shared communal, economic and environmental ecologies. The blending of  environments across continents will magnify what is distinctive, similar and exigent about being Human. A place-making project that encourages us to perceive our world though a creative lens.

Carbon Synthesis: Mummerings and Aerosols 
​

During a recent walk on the shore of the Creery Wetlands (Mandurah, Western Australia), the landscape revealed to Robinson a Water Cloud through the trees (Figure 3). This nonhuman low-level flickering yet digital-like cloud creates a human encroachment on wetland edgings. The land-locked apparition marks a border between a human community and a breathing green nonhuman alga bloom covering depressions in the wetlands. As a result of the chemical runoff effects of human pollution, these algae blooms ebb and flow across the landscape.
