Woven

"Home Groan" 2013
Curated by Katie Dryer
Collaborative project with Justin West
Harvest Gallery

wood, speaker wire, screws, amplifiers, ipods, + power cord

These pieces are functional speaker systems, which force electrical signals to travel through intricate weavings and exaggerated space to remote speakers. Connected to a central hub, this system highlights its materials by utilizing them structurally and aesthetically. Each type of wire is associated with a unique musical voice throughout the weavings.  Their placement evolved along side the weaving and informed the sound aspect of the piece during its composition.
