I made these bells attempting to bring in some of the sounds I heard when I was night hiking up Mt. Takao with some members of the church my mother goes to.
There was a temple located about 2/3rds of the way up that had these chimes suspended that made a similar sound in the wind. With the translation to the installation, I wanted the sculpture to be participatory; the bells are sited at various heights 28 inches off the floor.
I paired this with porcelain slabs that were lit from below, the white ones revealing their translucency and the charcoal porcelain made the light refract on the ceiling. The two lower lit pedestals had porcelain slabs with this poem I originally saw as a part of a Comme des Garçons collection, a fashion label that my mother introduced me to. My late grandmother wore it, with my mother and I wear it today.
The installation is a garden of this sound memorializing my grandmother, who was the reason I pushed through undergraduate studies and helped me through financially. Without her influence and her undying love and support, I don’t know what I would’ve done.
