The sound installation 1974 features field recordings taken along the Wilsons River and its tributaries. Speakers were placed in the central streets of Lismore, NSW during Artstate 2017 at the level where the 1974 flood peaked. The sounds are markers of a geological force, a geographical position, and signifiers of a collective experience.

The sound-based work of Jay-Dea Lopez delves into the psychogeographic aspects of environmental and personal space. Within this field Lopez reflects upon the way in which sound informs our relationship with our social and environmental heritage.

This work was presented for Artstate 2017 Arts Program
