I made a large W (steel and concrete) for cows to scratch on and placed it in their pasture. This herd roams freely in a valley without fences, so interactions take place because the cows choose to visit the sculpture. After completion, I spent three weeks in the field with the cows to record their behaviour, using a camera with remote control and contact microphones placed on the sculpture. I edited these recordings into a 4-channel video, presenting the interactions between the cows and the W sculpture as a polyphonic composition of scratching noises.

The sounds from W rise up from a giant round textile shape positioned in front of the screen, spanning approximately 2 metres in diameter and standing about 1.5 metres high. It is football-pitch green and smells of hay. At the front, it features a seating alcove covered by a tapestry of wooden beads in the same colour, resembling a car seat's massage cover.
Many thanks to Bysshe Partnership for their generous donation of sustainable hemp and cotton fabric produced in the British Isles.

In the corner of the room, a section of the walls—spanning part of one wall and the adjoining one—has been painted a mustard-beige colour. At approximately 1.6 metres high, two rows of ceramic tiles follow the mustard-beige walls, curving around the corner. The tiles are handmade, all slightly different, and feature the word ‘and’ raised in relief. The tiles are a pinkish hue, with the ‘ands’ speckled in various colours. The ‘a’ of each ‘and’ protrudes and slots into a recess in the preceding tile, creating a continuous connection. At the corner, this protruding ‘a’ wraps around and integrates into the tile on the adjoining wall. There are about sixty tiles: and and and and and etc.
It was brought to life by a performative reading of a poem titled and and, accompanied by sounds from a xylophone and amplified through a hanging speaker.
