Quadrivium, 2023
Bronze noēma sculptures, metallic cord, bronze rod. Kinetic sound instrument (soundscape installation in repose), 252 x 72 x 72 in.
Quadrivium is a sound instrument as well as a soundscape installation. This installation can be experienced by walking around it, viewing it from above, sitting nearby or by lying back on the seated platform underneath it. A light push from the hand will engage the forty-nine suspended bronze pieces. They become instruments of gravitational forces that collide and form hypnotic arrangements of movement, vibration, and resonant sound and offer a sensory exploration for ways in which matter, energy and vibration connect.
Quadrivium is the Latin word meaning “where four roads meet – a crossroads” and references an ancient curriculum consisting of four subjects: Arithmetic, Geometry, Harmonics & Astronomy.
