Savannah-based composer, sound designer, and music educator Joshua Alexander borrows from his musicianship to artfully harness sound-objects and shaping them into immersive sonic experiences. Alexander’s multimedia work explores concepts such as the aural imagination, subvocalization, and concentration. His text scores have been featured at the Telfair’s Small Works Exhibit, as well as Sulfur Studio’s White Elephant. Currently seeking an MFA in Sound Design from SCAD, Alexander is a music teacher in the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and teaches music technology at the Frank Callen Boys and Girls Club, Horizons Savannah, and Georgia Tech Summer Programs.

Artist Talk and Workshop at Sulfur Studios →
Join us for an Artist Talk and workshop with ON::VIEW Artist-in-Residence Rebecca Braziel. Participants are invited to learn the unique process of stitching paper to silk to produce a pliable material that appears organic, similar to lichen, moss, and other foliage. Reminiscent of a quilting circle, this workshop offers a chance to busy your hands while working toward a collective goal. This workshop includes a demonstration of Braziel’s process of transforming these flat textiles into sculptural forms which are then integrated into living plants. Each participant can contribute their finished pieces towards Braziel’s project of take it home. All supplies are provided in this free workshop for ages 12 and up!

This invasion distorts the form and threatens the health of its host, producing ephemeral sculptures that stimulate conversation around anxiety, gender roles, and the environment.” - Rebecca Braziel
