The Aesthetics of Sound

A childhood fascination with a crystal radio first revealed the invisible movement of sound through the air as waves. Years later, hearing improvised modern jazz on late-night radio transformed that curiosity into an enduring engagement with music as a way of understanding structure, rhythm and perception. Since then, listening has become as fundamental to Ivor Fabok's practice as looking, informing an approach in which painting, collage and sculptural thinking are shaped by the temporal and spatial qualities of sound.
