A place prepared for sleep / Staður undirbúin fyrir svefn.


2013
Kinetic sound installation and performance. Found wood and iron, Icelandic wool
We walked my string sculpture from the studio to the cliffs. We installed it over a space where I slept. The strings extend seven metres or so, and if you lie underneath they move and coalesce in the wind, and the strings look like how the waves sound.

Making liminal spaces habitable may generate new ideas of collectivity.

Thank you to Yogan Muller for inspiration.

Exhibited as part of Summer we go public, NES, Skagastrond, curated by Melody Woodnutt.
