The Memory Pendulums

A sound Installation affected by contact and gravity, the Memory Pendulums modulate the spoken measure of a poem written by the Australian poet Jill Jones. Her words flow randomly in time with the playful swinging back and forth of three diamond shaped acrylic water pendulums, each filled to a different capacity with a blue toxic liquid, triggering a different memory, dripping into the muddy waters of the Parramatta River …..

Jill’s poem floats behind the pendulums, which play the words in 3 parts as they swing.
