A sound and drawing installation (installed in the Leadmining Heritage Exhibition in the Blacksmiths Shop, Allenheads) exploring partial memory and navigation: how do we remember the route? The smooth line of a sung 'glissando' merges with an archive of voices recollecting a journey taken underground. One side of a vinyl record transported the listener from the Smallcleugh Mine entrance through the labyrinth of passages and caverns to the mine's 'Ballroom', the reverse side provides the route back to the surface.
