What IS the relationship between?

FIRST YEAR

Sat in a dingy, incandescent lit room in halls, we see a tired, confused first year student reading her first Fine Art brief. 'What's the relationship between....' a list of subjects and a seemingly unrelated list of objects.

What IS, or could be, the relationship between wallpaper and a sound for an enclosed space. 

Wallpaper                                                                                

The wallpaper adds to the haunting effect, in 'The Shining' by Stanley Kubrick 

• Everywhere
• Surrounding
• Pattern
• yet Empty, Isolating

Sound

• Voice
• Overlapping Sounds
• Pattern
• Loud
• yet Silent

I want to focus on the repetitive features of both wallpaper and sound, looking at sharp lines and edges which mirror sound- with the enclosed space aspect linking to feelings of isolation, possibly echoes?  

I need to go out and take photos of industrial structures and overlapping objects-> perspectives etc, and try to recreate the effect by experimenting with mixed media techniques to see what works best.
I also want to experiment with the use of portraiture and voice, as I think both wallpaper and sound can have a very strong narrative feature.
