This site-specific installation is a collaboration with sound artist and composer Steve Peters that was on view at Suyama Space, Seattle Washington, January--April 2012. Through numerous pipe ends a subtle sound collage emanates from nine distinct sources in this intricate and complex sculpture. Although it appears to be weighty cast iron, the entire work is tromp l'oeil; plastic, foam and wood. Even the nuts and bolts are created.

The historic pipes, carefully hand-crafted by artist Rick Araluce suggest the building’s internal infrastructure has broken from its long-hidden recesses to assert itself, claiming a balance between formalism and something more unruly and chaotic, perhaps even a bit menacing. Sounds recorded within the space are acoustically filtered by composer Steve Peters through the network of pipes, transforming them into abstract drones.
