Reflectance Field

Reflectance Field is a chance-based sound sculpture suspended within the 5 story void of Tykeson Hall’s monumental stair. It’s composed of individual “threads” held in tension. From a distance, the first impression may be of a field of rain, as reflective elements create a play of light and movement. As one approaches, a secondary reading is revealed. Carefully placed chimes transform the sculpture into a collaborative musical instrument. An abstract sculpture of static and dynamic elements, Reflectance Field brings a visual and auditory experience that encourages collaboration and expression.
