Strings and Fragments is a kinetic sound sculpture, animating 140 handmade pieces of clay. A homage to the movements of natural waves, seen abstractly, it parallels visual phenomena such as the reflections of moonlight on sea ripples; the illusion of indefinite vertical movement, as short, glowing stripes move into each other, merging and separating again.
These fragments try to capture the aura of such ever-changing strokes of light.
The project was developed as part of the Artist-in-Residence Program at Thinker Maker Space of CYENS.
