The sound element is triggered by a motion detector installed near the sculpture that causes the glass objects to slowly rock back and forth, producing a soft, repetitive sound pattern. The three glass elements are compelling whether static, or in motion, recalling the imagery of surrealist objects, such as Giacometti’s Suspended Ball (1930-31). Similar to the mystery of surrealism, Sound Cradle is the expression of that which is ambiguous and intangible. Trimpin’s oeuvre is an ongoing quest to push the limits of our sensory experiences. Through a continuous exploration of vision, sound and movement, in conjunction with the most current technologies, Trimpin challenges traditional notions of art and music. Sound Cradle is an exceptional example of Trimpin’s work; its interactivity, grace, delight and size make it an ideal indoor or outdoor sculpture. READ TRIMPIN’S BIO HERE >>
