"Wavelength" was a piece I installed in 2001 at Sculpture by the Sea. It was a cubic structure 3m x 3m x 3m with cords supporting weighted plates (recycled offset printing plates). The weights drummed against the plates in the wind, making a constant murmur which rose to quite a loud sound as the wind got stronger. The piece was about that moment when a swimmer in the surf has to decide whether to go with the wave as it breaks or dive through it.

Notations
an installed construction
Barbara Halnan
at Factory 49
Opening Wednesday August 24 6 - 8 pm

In this work Halnan is exploring the kinetic qualites brought about by layering elements which interact
with one another creating visual disturbance. This work is revisiting concepts and materials she employed in the making of large scale site specific ephemeral works in the years 1995 - 2001.


Factory 49 Showroom is open every Thurs to Sat, 1 - 6pm
