As words and their meanings surrender to context we are drawn to numbers for a sense of the definitive. A number defined by a word surrenders it's meaning to context. Over time, stories, myths and legends re-invent themselves to any number of given circumstances.
My work is a series of voice recordings, 12 artists each making the noise "t-w-e-l-v-e" in 12 subtly different ways. The recordings are to be played back starting on any given hour and left to run as an ongoing loop. Each recording lasts for a period of approximately one hour, the only differential due to the length of time taken by the artist to record their voice in each respective instance. This creates an inaccuracy. The piece is to be left running throughout the period of the exhibition. The distancing of the voices will change in this time.
