An exploration which started out as a critical view of the romanticised and nostalgic paintings of life in rural Scotland became an examination of the formal qualities of the corrugated iron which features in so many of the dilapidated farm buildings depicted in that genre. My process led to an enquiry into contour, colour, scale and surface: abstracting materials from the Highland landscape. The sine-wave curves of the corrugations prompted an exploration of wave-forms using an oscilloscope. The audio input was altered, layered and folded to produce virtual corrugations both visually and in soundscape.
