About
Ivo Pitts (b. 2002) is a multimedia artist and designer
based in Sussex. He studied Graphic Design
Communication at Chelsea College of Arts, graduating in 2025 with a First Class Honours degree. ‘Much of what I make is informed by my experiences as a covert stammerer and explores the meaning of memory, time, belonging and isolation within contemporary society and our fragile relationship with nature.
Through photography, installation, film and print my work often focuses upon the causal power of natural ephemera has in influencing physiology. Asking both myself and others to slow down and reconsider the boundary between our inner and outer lives alongside how and why we respond to our surroundings.
Sound endows us with an irreplaceable sense of belonging and connection to our surroundings. Informing us of who we are and influencing our evolution as a species. Yet over the last 50 years the soundscapes of the natural world so deeply entwined with our identity and our nature have begun to fall silent as human industry and it’s traces directly and indirectly engulf natural territories. Combining audio recordings from an area of ancient Sussex woodland with Cymatic, visual, representations of sound ‘Silent Conversations’ entwines the visual and audible together. Illustrating the diminishing purity of the biological systems found in the wood and encouraging a re-assessment of how we come to perceive climate change and how listening can change our understanding of the environment and our place within it.
