Imogen Stidworthy was suggested to me as an artist to look at by Graham during seminar for themes in contemporary art.
"Imogen Stidworthy’s work explores how language, perception and the act of listening underpin the creation of inter-human relationships and a sense of self, whilst questioning our complex interactions with the world through our use of language." http://www.fvu.co.uk/artists/details/imogen-stidworthy/

Exhibition: Imogen Stidworthy, Arnolfini, Bristol, until April 25
"In some ways the work of Imogen Stidworthy goes beyond the limits of visual art, because her main area of interest is speech.
Accent, slang and speech therapy are all explored in her new show at Arnolfini. It is the first UK survey of the Liverpool-based artist.
But despite her concern with language, Stidworthy translates well. She has built up an international reputation, and one piece in her current show was commissioned by Documenta XII, the serious-minded exhibition in Germany that only comes round every five years.
The result is called I Hate and studies the rehabilitation of a photographer who lost his voice in a cycling accident. Sessions with the therapist are filmed along with his own shots of a major scene of demolition and reconstruction, the Eurostar Terminal at St Pancras prior to November 2007."
