Shockwave
by Kate Kaman

an artistic study of aural signals used by the world's largest living beings

Designed to be either suspended between two trees or placed among them in a shady grove, Shockwave is bizarre imaginary juxtaposition of whales interacting with trees in a forest. The idea of huge living beings on the surface of the earth is apocalyptic. What if wildest imagination became reality and a 100-foot long sea mammal startled you on your next hike in the woods? What if trees communicated like whales? There is more than meets the eye to this sculpture: it is a sonic sculpture. When two people are standing in the right alignment, voices echo like an amphitheater or a violin. The design of this sculpture touches on the way people and whales use voices and songs to communicate. Like a submarine ping, Shockwave is a three dimensional homage to sound waves as they radiate out from a central point.
