Bodies of Water is an ongoing series of sculptures requiring listeners to physically initiate contact with the works, resonating their bone structures. The long-form compositions contained within are crafted from historical USGS data and hydrophone recordings from the nearest river. Commissions from Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Contemporary at Blue Star, Flux Factory, Little Berlin, and Fairmount Water Works.
