ivon oates’s multi-disciplinary approach incorporates new media with fine arts and architectural/landscape design.
Her exploration of a plastic aural architecture sculpted by the listening ear and open to us all, has informed recent work, ranging from intensive field recordings in locations of imaginative and environmental significance to site-specific installations of sound-led video compositions.
Methodologically, she enjoys working collaboratively exploring the creative dynamic between the personal and wider context, including non-western cultural traditions.
Educated with MA fine arts (Surrey Arts & Design); MA fine arts and PGdip, London Institute (Byam Shaw and St Martins school of Art); and T3 architecture (SA); she had over twenty years experience in architecture, interior and landscape design then specialised in fine arts - painting and new media.
