The location for my installation will be the far corner of the sculpture garden – a secluded spot that plays host to ‘The Oriental Pond’. At the moment the pond is covered with green duckweed into which the giant leaved Gunnera Manicatas appear to melt into as they dip into the water’s edge.
This open space surrounded by trees makes a natural ampitheatre and so seems a good choice for locating the sound piece; however where it is placed exactly – in the trees, in the water or around the pond – will be decided as the project unfolds. For this I will be influenced by how I want the piece to sound as well as the weatherproof properties of whatever audio equipment I use.
