‘Sweat’ 1993, Catacombs, Glebe Sydney

(4 x kettles, 4 x bunsen burners, nylon tubing, LPG gas + bottle, regulator, water, steam)

Four domestic kettles are affixed to the four columns of a dark, semi-subterranean urban gallery. Together they create an ambient sound space that hints also at the recent gentrification of the previously industrial site. At the same time, otherwise banal objects ie. kettles, are deployed for abstract audio/spatial purposes.
