Ben Nigel Potts

Ben Nigel Potts is a sound artist, sculptor, and painter. He is currently pursuing doctoral research at The University of Huddersfield under the supervision of Professor Michael Clarke and Professor Monty Adkins. Ben's work involves creation of both sound art and visual art in a multi-disciplinary process. His work involves creating live vivid and engaging sound-worlds from the use of one household or commonplace object per piece, using no pre-recorded sound. The pieces are real-time improvisations with a pre-determined form and structure. These sound works are performed along side the exhibition of the visual art counterpart. The two mediums function collaboratively to express the same thought/emotion/concept and explore the relationship between sound and visual, and fixed and temporal media. http://benpotts.co.uk
