soundpedro 2021 participation: N/A
Proposed work as accepted for soundpedro 2021:
Golden Conch (sounds of silence)
Based off the Golden Ratio and inspired by Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty, Confessional Part VII, Golden Conch, is an intimate interactive sculpture that invites you to participate by stepping inside, either alone or with a partner and contribute your confessions.
In order for the piece to come full circle, I invite you, the viewer, to become part of the piece itself, encouraging you to set aside time for self-reflection and contemplation, anonymously or actively as a participant. The experience attempts to engage, challenge and inspire you to view confession in a new light.
As viewers enter the piece the lights inside will turn on and illuminate the piece. Viewers will speak to each other through a tube provided.
