Lost in Translation is a response to the increasing role that real-time technologies play in our lives. Largely processed based, her practice is a kind of palimpsest: the partial erasure of what has gone before, the outcome of one work feeding into the next. Here, a record player points to how the physicality of the real world is being lost through the translation into digital data, as an unlabelled LP record spins on repeat.
