Aileen Campbell

Campbell is a visual artist who makes voiceworks. Her intimate understanding of the structure of music is explored, referred to and adopted in her approach as a visual artist.
As an experienced chorister, Campbell posits herself on a platform where investigation and experimentation can take place.

“When performing people experience my pitched voice, that is how I appear as a visual artist. My voice is a locator, discerns space, unites, divides, and is a thing capable of huge descriptive qualities, with a range of accuracy.”

The framing of Campbell’s performances, and the importance of their subsequent presentation through video, is indicative of her position between visual art and experimental music.
