Artist Statement:  SIlas explores sonic memory and how it is stored in the body. During the residency he undertook a process of soundwalking through familiar urban and natural environments and then exploring manifestations of these spatial sonic memories in the body when recontextualized in a studio environment. All field recordings were collected and experienced as a part of this residency, with Silas taking on the performative roles of walking, throwing rocks, kicking metal bins, etc. 

About Silas Ng: Silas Ng is an emerging multidisciplinary artist based on the unceded territories of the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. He studied at the Emily Carr University Art and Design, and received his Bachelor of Arts in Photography. His works primarily involve photography as well as various other mediums, including drawing, painting, and sculpture, which all come together to capture his experiences of multiculturalism and language as a Deaf Canadian-born Chinese person. Silas experiments with various mediums in order to re-create and re-interpret his life experiences, as well as his relationship with his culture. He is able to transform them into images, while breaking away the invisible boundary of language.
