PALIMPSEST
                                                    Iain MacLeod-Brudenell

I am a multi-media and multi-disciplinary artist. The media with which I work is wide and includes sculpture, drawing, photography, video, printmaking, artists' books. These are often combined and used in installation and intervention in context specific locations. 
My current projects are large scale video/ sound productions relating to tinnitus and the development of my bookworks .
The advantage of being a multi-media/ multi-disciplinary artist is that one can have several tracks of practice running alongside each other, these sometimes collide, sometimes converge whilst other aspects remain distinct.

Bookworks

My Book Art practice is far reaching and includes examining the book as object, binding, artists' books, book preservation and the modification of books. Within my practice I attempt to maintain the integrity of the book as an object which retains text which can be read.

This series of boxes relate to the body. They all have a personal starting point but relate to wider issues of Palimpsest.

Intaglio print using a two part process linking the body with a 1970's circuit board. This is reflected in a convexx mirror within the box.

Again a palimpsest of text, image and support framework is gradually revealed.

Tinnitus

The research project began as a personal response to the condition. It is now an ongoing investigation into methods of using  audio-visual renditions of  tinnitus in order to explain, to demonstrate,  to non-sufferers what  is involved in their personal experience of  the condition.
 I have developed a range of methods and techniques of layering in video matched to sound.
