whispering islands
Preparations for a site-specific installation planned for the Hayes Valley Market space. I'm expanding on previous installation techniques with thread and felt, by building these little floating felt islands. There will be seven such islands, each embedded with simple sound making electronics that create intermittent, rhythmic bursts. The islands will be dispersed throughout the space, suspended from a mesh of thread. I'm also considering adding some simple mechanical sound components as well, but we'll have to see if there is time. The pillowy shapes were a false start where I thought I was going to make the islands stuffed. In the end I decided to just use the structure of the felt to create the forms.
