Carillon
An installation at Sculpt EVV, an exhibition of outdoor sculpture at Evansville, IN

A carillon is an instrument containing 23 or more tuned bronze bells. The sound of a carillon can travel for miles, and they have been used as a mass communication device and collective musical instrument for centuries.
I intended these earthen bells as a physical manifestation of our eroding collective memory, but also as a reminder of the potential for community and collective action.
