Ringing Stone

Year: 2015

The sound piece Ringing Stone is an audio recording from a small stone that is tapped on a larger boulder, named Ringing stone. It is to be found on the Scottish Island of Tiree. It has been, carried by the ice that covered Scotland during the last ice age, and has a number of cup markings. When struck it sounds as if it is hollow and made of metal, just as if you were striking a bell. Legend has it that if the boulder is ever broken, so will Tiree sink below the waves.  

Ringing stone can be experienced as a meditative contemplation of one’s own inner space.

It was exhibited at Gallery Ruth in 2015 www.galleriruth.com
