Wish-Speaking Structure

Marcus, Kathleen, and I just met with Peter and Angie at Angie's studio in Minneapolis. Peter and Angie presented their design for a beautiful new structure where guests to the event will have the opportunity to read their kite-wish into a microphone so their voice can be mixed with other recorded voices and played back as a layered sound installation of wishing. Peter is working on the basic structure--which will be made from latticed pieces of thin bamboo--and Angie is working on the outside of the structure--thin fabric draped over the structure and over the tree that will be at the center of the structure.

A rough mock-up of the basic structure. The pieces of brown paper represent the lattice, the piece of bamboo represents the tree, the blue fabric represents the Mississippi River.

Plans for the new structure as well as photos of Angie's fabric design from last year's Promises to the Earth installation.

Angie describes how the fabric will be attached to the lattice to Marcus and Kathleen.
