About
Felicity celebrates everyday life through a playful and imaginative focus on sounds and listening. She is interested in linking sounds with material culture, and in using sound to animate, describe and explore the physical world. In her work, she seeks to link creative artistic practice to ordinary objects and concerns. A recipe or a shopping list becomes an instruction score; wallpaper becomes the basis for an imaginative sound-recording and composing project; and hand-knitting a sound-system becomes a way of connecting voices and sounds to specific landscapes and communities.
Since concluding her PhD in 2011, Felicity has been working full-time as a self-employed artist.
Felicity is currently working on commissions with the Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture (Sonic Wallpaper) and the British Film Institute and the Wellcome Library (creating a soundtrack for Bathing & Dressing Parts 1 and 2). In addition to these projects, she co-runs the Sound Diaries project with Paul Whitty and recently returned from a month-long residency at MoKS in Estonia, in which associated travel costs were covered by The British Council.
