“Annoying Poem” is a visual/sound experiment documenting a simple, pointless act repeated over and over. The viewer is surrounded by projections of combined instances of wood being repeatedly thrown at a corner in the artist's studio. The images of flying detritus and cacophonous ricochet sounds are viscerally alarming while simultaneously verging on becoming calming white noise. The viewer is standing inside a memory of a calamitous event that was actually a simple, boring, monotonous event. Loud clattering sounds. Why are you doing this?
