RELOCATE
BY ALICIA MATTHEWS
As the artist prepares to move from her long-term home city of Glasgow to the Outer Hebrides, she explores the idea of home and the notion of re-location. How do we locate ourselves in mutable surroundings and what constitutes home? Using the verb to “relocate” as a structure to explore text and sound, the artist will create a piece, which weaves personal memories of place and people with spoken word, field recording & electronic sound.

Alicia Matthews is a Scottish artist primarily working through the medium of sound. Currently, Alicia’s practice is informed by research into haptics and the dichotomy of lived experience between synthetic and natural environments. Most recently, Alicia has been developing a project for film with collaborator Robbie Thomson that juxtaposes the megalithic standing stones in Callanais, Lewis with the stone circle in Sighthill, Glasgow (built in 1979). The film is from the perspective of the Goddess Brighde who has recently returned to Earth from ∞.
Other musical projects include SUE ZUKI, LAPS, Organs of Love & a monthly residency on NTS Radio.
