David primarily works at the intersection between field recording, experimental music and photography. He collects sounds and images from the immediate vicinity of his home in London and from trips further afield, working around structured projects and unstructured ideas, to produce a varied body of work including digital installations, photographic collections and EPs. He is particularly interested in Robert Smithson’s concept of the ‘site’ (“the original and unique place in the landscape”) and ‘non-site’ (“the artist’s presentation of a form of analogue or equivalent”) along with this idea from Nam June Paik; “my work is not always interesting but not always uninteresting like nature, which is beautiful, not because it changes beautifully but simply because it changes.” These two ideas together form a conceptual framework based around varieties and representations, changes and repetitions.
He has reservations about calling himself an artist, critical hobbyist seems a more apt term.
