Sounding Line is a large-scale ceramic installation addressing the devastating effect of marine sonar on whales and other cetaceans. The sculptures are made from clay that includes bone from a beached whale and are wrapped in rope that vibrates with the pulse of sonar. Visitors are invited to touch the rope to feel the vibration through their bodies.
