Sonic Planetarium – Dripping Lunar Sextet

Sonic Planetarium – Dripping Lunar Sextet is suggestive of a grand planetary model and is an extension of ongoing series, Sonic Sculptures. It draws on bells’ sonic associations with traditions across civilisations. Six arms are connected to a web of plate designs, variations on Islamic geometric patterns, and their orientation unfolds in endless patterns. The heads of Sonic Planetarium show similarities to planetary bodies in the universe, and the piece alludes to Ibn Al-Haytham and his work on perception, based on observations of the moon.
