hanging garden , 2000
exhibition: inland specific, pcc gallery, pasadena ca, 2000

hanging garden was created for a concrete courtyard adjacent to the gallery at pasadena city college for the 'inland specific' exhibition.

the piece was inspired by the emptiness of the space, and the 8 hooks attatched to the curved brick wall. the soundwork was created using the sounds of a microphone touching houseplants. there are 8 tracks of sound - one for each speaker hanging from the found hooks in the wall. sound is used to give the space the presence of a garden.
