Main Site


      
Twelve
      Huffa Birds, Headless is an installation of 12 inflatable, flapping
      sound sculptures. Suspended throughout the exhibition space,
      the birds flutter, flap, expand and contract in a sonic environment
      of stereophonic bell rings, clicks and Portland traffic.


      
These seven
      tracks, recorded continuously over a 55 minute period, were made
      on March 12, 2008 just before departing for The Czech Republic.
      Much of this piece, however, is the near silent action of the
      wings flapping and the balloons expanding and contracting.
