Whispering Vessels

Sound connects inside and outside, materiality and immateriality. Whispering Vessels explore the relationship between space, form, movement and sound. These double-layered vessels filled with loose but trapped gemstones sit on the border between domestic vessels and percussion instruments. The sound emanating from them in movement emphasises the hollowness of the vessel. The gemstones climb up and around its interior walls and draw an aural interpretation of the vessel’s internal space. The first object from this series was made during a short residency in Turnov, a small town in the bohemian paradise region of Czech republic. It is homed at the Turnov Museum.
