Damien is an artist working with digital media focusing on the interplay between images, sounds and vibrations.
Her artwork was originally print-based and 3D; often based on children’s stories and toys, it has been shown in venues as diverse as phone boxes and the National Art Library. From 1998 she has increasingly used digital techniques allowing her to work with media previously inaccessible to her and other deaf people. Works include De@fsite for the Photographers Gallery, Aerial (an x-space commission for inIVA), Songbird, a sonic/acoustic work initiated in a LabCulture Residency exhibited as part of ‘Re:Thinking Time’ at Peterborough Digital Arts, and AWSoM, the Ambient Weather Sound Machine (with Stuart Bowditch).
More recent projects includes Vibe³ (Vibe Cube) a commission for Essex County Council shown in sites across Essex in 2009, part of the Genius Loci public art programme (see Vibe³) and commissioned work for Outside09. These projects are in collaboration with Stuart Bowditch.
Current work includes a new version of the Vibe Cube for TAP Gallery, and 'Automatic Listening', commissioned by FirstSite.
