For musical chameleon Richard Youngs both his creative and family life are focused in the room that many of us consider the centre piece of our lives.
Includes: street portraits of kids in 1930’s Dakota, a mysterious foggy pilgrimage, a swarm of time-lapsed consumers, a stereoscopic analysis of mill life, up close and personal in a Lighting Bolt mosh pit.
Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
