Did You Know?

The inspirational story behind the Sonic Cosmic Rope series is a traditional Korean folktale about two siblings escaping a wild tiger by climbing a rope appearing from the sky.

Description

Made solely of tiny bells connected with rings, Sonic Cosmic Rope is designed to be hung vertically from a ceiling and to be activated by shaking or hitting manually to create sounds of metallic rattle and jingling. In this sense, this piece can be regarded as performative, requiring activation.
Rope of glinting, spherical gold colored bells hanging from the ceiling at the center of a gallery space. Four vertical rows of gold bells are visible from one side in precise, even rows, with silver colored bells glinting through in a layer beneath the gold.
