Do you think I’m neurodivergent (2023)

Over the past year I have been asked on multiple occasions if I am neurodivergent. I have been sent self-assessments and while I do have mild form of dyslexia, I am reluctant to diagnose. One such reference/symptom I heavily align with, is that I become obsessed with sounds and music samples and, I wish at times, to be enveloped with sound as a pressure over my whole body. In this installation I bring to light / life my ear draining in an infinite loop, the sounds it desires to consume. I leave a bowl of ear worms for patrons to consume. Part of my sound obsessions over the years has come about in the homage to the “10-hour loop” which is a kind of joke on YouTube. I have created 6, 10-minute loops, of recent obsessions that play on a 1 hour loop in the brutalist space over a Leslie speaker. Through me, a vessel, enveloped in sound, reverberating in a kind of infinity.
