Whitby Artist Vivien Mousdell will be showing a large film & sound installation as part of the Coastival arts festival 'The art installation 'WAVES' was developed during an artist's residency with the Centre for Performance Research, Aberystwyth. Travelling between the west coast of Wales & my home on the east coast. I found the sea to be a constant & reassuring presence. I started to associate the rhythm of waves with that of our breath, both capable of calming or exciting emotions. A high contrast black & white film of the sea is projected on to four horizontal layers of translucent material to create a convincing illusion of the waves’ ebb & flow away & towards the audience. Reinforcing its bodily impact, a recording of human breath reverberates in unison with the ocean in all its moods from tranquil to turbulent. The large wide angle projection is at floor level so that shadows of viewers seem to be entering the waves.'
