NGA Play: Kellie O'Dempsey

Kellie O’Dempsey invites you into her living sketchbook, an immersive space of moving marks and dancing lines. Digital projections collide with traditional drawing in a series of dynamic and colourful experiences and creative opportunities. Contribute to the unique drawing journey as you follow the never ending line to shadow puppets, 3D drawing constructions and live animation before getting into the drawing rink for an immersive drawing experience.

The never-ending line investigates drawing as a way of collaboration and transformation.

The featured soundtrack within the space composed by Michael Dick is a response to the act of drawing lines as a spatial experience. The montage consists of collected and produced samples and recorded music. As accompaniment to the installation the soundtrack includes the double bass and the Diddley bow (a custom made single stringed bass), percussion and dub techniques such as muting, reverb and delay.  Designed like a sketchbook this series of low fi audio tracks explores the ideas, shapes and textures that continue to grow as people draw in the NGA play space.
