Listening: Transmit, Receive, Connect

Receive is Part 2 of the 3-Part Installation

Receive, the second part of the Listening Installation, consists of cone-shaped copper armatures for taut, translucent skins of prints. The prints, on transparentized Sekishu paper, are multi-plate etchings, some with relief roll that are made from the copper plates that are re-used in Connect, the third part of the installation. These structures range in diameter from 8 to 24 inches and in depth from 10 to 34 inches. Referencing satellite dishes, megaphones, ear trumpets or the labyrinthine cochlea of the ear, these structures move gently with air currents and cast dramatic shadows to furthersthe idea that sound continues infinitely into echoes and silence.
