Circle Noise, a continuation of the Drawing Noise (2014), explores ambient sound presented in a large vacant gallery space during a performative wall-drawing installation. The project aims to reconcile the noise of voided space with the scratching sound of mark making. It investigates the ideas of long sustained sound objects, invasive echo, and thin texture produced by the act of drawing circles with colored ball-point pens directly onto rough drywall. The rhythmic value of visual manifestation juxtaposes clear and softer noise with amplified texture overlapping in circle compositions as they arrive and disappear in an obscure dark space. Through the performance of repetitive drawing practice, Circle Noise examines mark making that reflects time, space, speed through meditative state of mind. Layered sound inhabits the atmosphere and allows the viewer to experience the sensation of ambient recording as a musical piece.
