Vibes deconstructions

These works have come about through explorations in the resonance, tuning and vibrational energy of aluminium vibraphone bars, as well as exploiting the resonant frequencies of various common vessels such as plastic containers, tin cans, and glass jars. In works made with Andreas Siagain in 2014 and 2020, metal bars were specifically selected to match the resonant frequencies of individual sea shells.

Electrical current runs through the graphite pencil, creating explosive sounds and leaving a trail of markings and burns.
