The artists of Voice Imitator locate their practice at the point of
collapse between mass and hand production. Through highly evolved styles,
technique is ritualised and authorship questioned; producing a very particular,
hand fashioned object - wipe-clean masterpieces, warm migraines and surrogate
loves -. Through obsessive repetition the understanding of the artists
role becomes eroded, perhaps diabolical. The artists desire to question
the possibility of an authentic practice provokes an anxiety.... Is voice mere
mimicry or does production inevitably lead to a neurotic series of banal fictions.
