Crossfire centralises around the context of a domestic argument. In this case the event samples an audio excerpt from the 1999 Sam Mendes Film ‘American Beauty’. The slow building dialogue between the three central characters family dinner climaxes with a sound clash of emotions. The cross-fire of the argument traverses the dinning table but where previously the inanimate everyday objects such as plates, cutlery and teapot were unable to express their character, the intensity of the conversation deforms their once static existence into objects of unseen familiarity.The presented artefacts each encapsulate a momentary emotion of the argument
