video excerpt
The spark for this sound piece came from Mr. Ron Binks. His images of the Holocaust sites and memorials are arresting for what they show and challenging for what they don’t overtly say. So I (with the extraordinary help of my brother Dillon) set about creating a sound that would compliment and augment his images. It was my hope that what needs to be said about the Black Site images could be felt instead. The sound is monolithic and dynamic, the full extent of the piece is best revealed by walking around the space, stopping then listening.
