Rosanna Greaves (Artist) in London (United Kingdom) from Re-title.com

Much of Rosanna Guy Greaves� practice involves seeking out places of interest to develop the work from, researching the history of a place, its previous and present uses, and picking up on past narratives or matters of interest that are imbedded within the character of the building but often overlooked when used as a day-to-day facility. This research method of practice results in site responsive or interactive sound pieces, installations and digital video works.
Greaves has created works for a variety of venues including an 19th Century Observatory, an old glass and lead manufacturers in Clerkenwell and the arches under London Bridge, often making complex connections between places and contexts.

This research-based method of art production has often resulted in her employing the knowledge of an expert in a particular field, or building working relationships with one or more people who have regular contact or engagement with that particular place.
In site-specific installations Greaves has often used sound as a way of tying together the objects in the space, as something, which can be experienced simultaneously with visual elements
In some instances the sound is used to penetrate a space creating a tension between the viewer, the space and the work; at others it is used to sculpt spatial qualities complimenting the architecture.
Having a strong interest in the deconstruction of musical structures, greaves also creates entirely aural pieces to be played though headphones or separate surround speakers.
