The Chorus Hands
Kinetic sculpture

On a long ribbon-like stage dressed in satin, The Chorus Hands is a series of kinetic sculptures resembling gesturing hands ring with worship bells, seemingly both keeping rhythm and setting it. These large scale, musical sculptures tap automatically in syncopated rhythms, the bells holding a pulse for the space, moving to faster paced, ecstatic rhythms.
