Sympathetic Resonance, 2023
Milan Design Week, Italy
An array of eleven mirrored vessels filled with shallow pools of water hum with infrasonic tones, creating cymatic patterns on the water’s surface. As viewers approach the sculptures and navigate the space, their movements are reflected in changes to the tones and wave patterning. I see this work as a musical instrument - a kind of wind chime that sings in response to the public rather than the wind.
This artwork was on display at the Milan Design Week from April 18-23, 2023 for 'Shaped by Water', an exhibition that my studio put on in collaboration with Google.
