As a research-based artist, I am interested in the capturing, archiving and reconstruction of personal memories and the 'essence' of individuals. My transdisciplinary, 'polyphonic' research delves into the dual aspects of what remains and what is lost, exploring the grief of losing and the potential for reconstructing something new. Through mediums and materials such as installation, sound, voice, and AI technologies, I explore these themes alongside collective projects and graphic and printing techniques. I share my work through exhibitions, workshops, performances and radio broadcasts. I have recently had projects at WORM, SHIMMER, Roodkapje and Dordrechts Museum.

Sunday Mornings With Ceola
During the Sunday Mornings With... Ceola invites you to join her in weaving a sonic installation throughout the building that Shimmer is housed in.
Inspired by the deep listening practice of Pauline Oliveros, Ceola will lead listening and sounding exercises. In combination with recorded sounds from the building, we will intuitively create a live, site specific, sonic tapestry with our voices and / or our bodies.
