Strike | the mark feeds the score | surface as notation
Hannan Jones and Shamica Ruddock
Forma, 15 Bermondsey Square, London
2 October 2025 - 18 January 2026
For the first time, artists Hannan Jones and Shamica Ruddock bring their sound-based practice into sculptural form. Continuing their shared reflections on how rhythm, memory, and identity shift across histories and geographies, the artists turn their focus to musical notation; its conventions, limits and possibilities. In contrast to their use of electronics; synthesizers, sampling and drum machines, Jones and Ruddock deconstruct the drum and the bell - instruments made of wood, hide and metal, which have formed the foundation of rhythmic composition - to reimagine a score in a non-linear, material form.
