Stainless Steel 1997
About the Artist: David E. Davis
Sound of the Fourth of July, from a series of Sound Towers developed for outdoor placement, stands twelve feet high and is assembled from stainless steel parts in a way that recalls the work of the Constructivists. Wing-shaped plates with geometric cutouts are suspended within a three-dimensional linear grid. When the wind moves they collide, causing a clatter while transferring kinetic energy to sound waves.
