Hello Halo by Ruby Colley

‘Hello Halo’ is a new work composed by Ruby Colley for Exaudi Ensemble. The composition has been devised with her brother, Paul Colley, who is non-speaking & is an artist at Project Art Works. The process examines the intimate complexity of neurodiversity and sibling relationships as well as unconventional methods of communication. Collaborating with Paul has informed a compositional score formed of memories, sounds and non-language based communication. It explores the intimate dynamics of caregiving and sibling dynamics alongside alternative communication methods.

For the exhibition Kaleidoscopic Realms at Nottingham Castle we were asked to commission two writers to comment on the practice and work of Michelle Roberts and Siddharth Gadiyar. The writing is used in the exhibition programme which you can download here: Kaleidoscopic Realms Booklet. We approached Tony Colley, who was an Artist Lead working with Michelle for many years in the Project Art Works studio. Tony wrote: When first encountering the works of Michelle Roberts the visual feast in front of us draws us into a world that bridges our engagement with her imaginative reality, a reality we share.
