Sound Asylum (1990) 

A kinetic sound sculpture. Three wooden legs support the piece, visually divided in the middle by a galvanized steel roof. An aluminum and steel weather vane sits on the top. A steel rotor just beneath the weather vane moves in the wind and spins steel cable inside the sculpture creating a string-like sound. There are three wooden benches underneath the sculpture so the viewer can spend some time listening and contemplating.

Media: wood, steel, rubber, aluminum.

Size: 18 ft. high, 9 ft. wide, 9 ft. deep 

This sculpture was awarded the first prize - the Rosen Award - during the Seventh Rosen Outdoor Sculpture Competition and Exhibition at the Appalachian State University in Boone, NC in 1993.
