REMAINS merges sound, poetry, and sculpture, installed at Kaatsbaan Cultural Park Tivoli NY in 2022. The 32 panes of fumed and heat distorted glass are embossed with the text of the poem Let Them Not Say by Jane Hirshfield (Knopf, 2020, used with permission) and are designed to sway with the wind. The audio track layers the mating call of the last living — now extinct — Kauai O'o bird (used with permission of the Macauley Ornithology library) and my voice speaking Let Them Not Say against the background sound of a burning fire. The entire track is 5 minutes and is motion activated by the viewer's presence.
