Artist Statement:

Key Notes is a live work for our time, our appetite and our audiences. Previously presented at the National Review of Live Art in Glasgow, Live Art Falmouth and the Colchester Arts Centre, it has evolved from the quest for the all-encompassing platform of power and exquisite influence. As an artist working almost exclusively in industry for six years I witnessed many extraordinary things. I heard about the future and the vision. We went up together, exponentially, and we came down. Sometimes I’d be addressing the whole company of 600, as the global reach extended and the monthly meetings became more surreal. Then I was leading the event. The community was mine. The strategy is up for grabs. I know what I’ve seen. And the technology was implicit. We all need a little helping hand now and again. Especially these days. The bus is leaving. Can you afford to step aside when the driver has a story to tell?
