Echoes: Sight, Sound, Touch is a collaboration between Eric von Haynes and Lisa Armstrong. A call-and-response between the artists, the work tracks growth and healing over time. The installation explores the forms of sound, light, and print in the reconstruction of memories.
An Exploration in Slow media, images that evoke memories are distilled and sequenced for projections in space. The artists interlaced tones from plant biofeedback, as well as field recordings, to create a layered soundscape resonating with the floating images in space.
The work asks, how are memories stored in the mundane? How do we grow and heal over time? And what are the memory markers that help us construct meaning?
