This sculpture will be exhibited as part of @unprimed_collective latest project ‘with no more sound than the mice make’ this coming weekend at Safehouse 1, 139 Copeland Road Peckham, 30-31 May 12-5pm (PV 4-7.30 Sat 30 May)

 
Matthew Swift is a painter and mixed media artist who works between Whitstable UK and Melbourne Australia. He sees his queer body as a kind of highly sensitised rover-machine that is trained to pick up beauty and danger as it crosses changeable landscapes. ‘Listening’s’ coiled ceramic form is conceived as a stand-in for his ear; a souped-up vintage hearing trumpet that contains highly sensitised sound receivers whilst the fabric conduits transport noise-information through their horsehair stuffing for centralised processing. ‘Listener’ is a four coloured stone lithograph print, a portrait of the clay horn form from ‘Listening’, the fruity colours celebrate exuberant facets of the sculpture that wish to connect and communicate with the viewer.
