<p><em>The crystal angle,</em> 2014. HD video from Super 8 film, colour, mute, foam, 01:16min. looped  In the play between sound and language the stutter opens a percussive space of disarticulation, suspension and falter. A discontinuity that has its own fluency, the stutter is a part of everyday speech produced by changing intonation, rhythm and various other body opacities.Thought to be a mal-functioning of the self-hearing loop, a beginning and a beginning again, a circle within a circle, the stutter brings me to questions of private language and inner voice.  When language itself stutters (it always does) it reflects back to the material. A cut-continuous parsing of the world of experience in which much is unheard, unsayable and variously baffled or reflected.   <em>The crystal angle</em> was Emily Dickinson’s name for the nexus between the circumference world and the circuit world.
