Rootmouth is the project of New York-based Igbo American perception artist, Kamra. They work through sound, sculpture, installation, performance, and stewardship, sharpening the failed ocular toward the ears and throat system as a reliable ancient technology for transferring sensation intelligence across time. Where the eye has been given over to spectacle, the auditory tube works from the interior, where the future is born before it is known.

They conceptualize sounding structures that disrupt the folk casting of music, turning the insides out. The practice treats the body like a biological tuning fork, rendering corporeal sensory apparatus, channels of spiritship. The works are meant to take the form of rooms in the round, microphones the size of a body, hardwood bent to a curve and speakers and mics as eyes wired to sound and sing only what makes contact.

You enter, sound, and the sculpture returns your input the way the apse of a church does and the way a praise house would. Shoes come off at the edge creating pause and prayer. The work rests on the architecture of devotion and on the older fact that a body listens below the neck, through the feet and chest, through the ground it stands on and the heart that rhythms.
