 Turtle Tooth, 2018, audiovisual, 50:00 excerpt from 04:25

Turtle Tooth (2018, MOV, 04:25) is a cross-medium work between an original mixed media artist book and an audiovisual.

The video frames are created from the still images of Turtle Thumb (2014, artist book, 9x12", 38 pages, mixed media on vellum paper.) The scanned pages were digitally processed, transforming painterly marks into the quality of the digital. The pages are then mirrored horizontally and vertically to make a cyclical image within one frame.

The audio consists of humming tunes that are juxtaposed to create a kind of white noise. One key of humming tune per one breath is repeated for the duration of the recording. Ten continuous tracks are juxtaposed to create an integrated soundscape.
