During the two days of the International Lighthouse Weekend, my sound sculptures for ‘Siren Signal’, commissioned for the International Lighthouse Relay and the Folkestone Fringe , will be installed on the magnificent Light Vessel 21 a decommissioned and transformed Trinity House Lightship.
Based on childhood memories of the constant and stationary Tongue Light Vessels (LV1) on the north Kent horizon, and its mournful warning when sea fogs transformed the world. The three soundscapes of Siren Signal will reverberate through the spaces of LV21 echoing my and its own pasts.
The ship is open to the public for the whole weekend, giving you the unique opportunity to both explore and experience the sound pieces and lightship at the same time.
