Kettle's Yard (University of Cambridge), invited residents of North Cambridge to bring objects that make them think of 'home' to the gallery, and recorded descriptions of them - responding to a prompt from exhibition artist Issam Kourbaj. I worked with these recordings to produce an audio work to weave these stories together and bring them to life with field recordings and found sounds.
The composition is installed alongside acoustic panels designed by Issam Kourbaj at Arbury Court Library in Cambridge.
