'If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite.' ~ William Blake

dub: a version of.
spectrum: the entire range.

dub spectrum is a creative unity developed by Christopher Sharp which fuses a combination of writing, spoken word, sound, physical movement and lens-based media with a particular interest in the connection between nature and human imagination. He draws from a methodology similar to DIY music scenes he grew up around in the '90s, while compositionally looks further back to the black and white movies of early cinema, fairy tales and ancient Chinese landscape painting. Despite coming from a fine art background, attaining a bachelor’s in Contemporary Arts from The Nottingham Trent University and an MA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins, he considers himself primarily a writer interested in different methods of poetry and storytelling alongside the potential of photography as a literary medium. He hopes to exhibit a series of embodied poetry in 2027.

dub spectrum also includes poetry and fiction written under a pseudonym, Percival Alexander, largely exploring themes of despair and transformation in a fragmented world. Extracts from his debut novel Adrift in Amnesia can be found here. Details of his first book of poetry The Cycle Diaries can be found here. He is currently working on his second novel – a fairy tale adventure about two lovable cats in search of a new home – and may share some posts of its development.

Christopher has written more about his dub spectrum journey here.
