Flowers East

'Dust' has been specially made for 'Domestic Appliance' a new kinetic sculpture exhibition at

Flowers East opening on August the 1st.

Sound Bites & The Untuned Eye

Pin Drop at Kinetica - Photo John Coombes

'Sound bites and the Untuned Eye' is currently at Rhyl Arts Centre until the 19th of July

The exhibition is a complete body of work made as a result of winning the 2005 JD Fergusson Award and is supported by the Arts Council.

Sculptural heads and wire figures react as you approach, looking up, assembling and coming apart. Motors are activated, a radio is randomly tuned and the space is filled with the noise of a pin dropping and the reconstructed sound of bagpipes.
