Chime Walk II is comprised of 11 tuned wind chimes and iron shepherds hooks, arranged along a path in Majestic View Park. Visitors activate the piece gently as they pass along the path, and the vertical wind chimes evoke the native grasses that have been carefully tended in this area. By having these wind chimes placed in such a beautiful location, I hope that people could take a moment to stop, slow down, create sound on their own, and connect that experience to our landscape. Over the three years of their installation (which survived completely intact through the seasons!), the community has walked by and played them as the grasses grew around them; one visitor commented that countless people have taken wedding photos, baby photos, senior photos, all in front of the piece.
Chime Walk (2018)
114 windchimes and shepherds hooks, monofilament, wire.
Sept 1-3, 2018
Temporary installation of 114 windchimes at the Rocky Mountain Land Library for 'Re/Call' event, curated/sponsored by RedLine Denver. Created specifically for this ranch site in Garo, CO. The chimes follow an animal path from the ranch out to a creek on site, getting longer and lower the closer you get to water. A large change happens at the “golden section” when the landscape becomes fertile and the chimes begin to alternate sides and deepen greatly. Offered as a meditative walk and a sound experience for guests. Special thanks to Conor Brown and Andy Lynes for assistance.
