  • Spring 2017

The intersection of sculpture, sound composition, and dance. This project combines sculpture and sound through the creation and fabrication of a life-sized set of building bricks. Each brick is assigned a sound and fitted with an illuminating device. The orientation of the bricks in space determines the order of sounds, duration, and illumination. This sound/light/structural environment will be utilized in a small gallery space, inviting the public to arrange and co-create a sculpture that in turn creates a sound score. In addition, short dance vignettes will be choreographed to explore the relationship of the sound sculpture to movement.
