Tiffany Singh Knock On The Sky Listen To The Sound

Knock On The Sky Listen To The Sound is a Buddhist proverb Tiffany Singh first heard while travelling over the Himalayas on a pilgrimage to Lamayuru or Yuru Gompa, a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Western Ladakh. Her work Knock On The Sky Listen To The Sound considers the act of pilgrimage as a common human experience. The fifty wind chimes in the work, bringers of good luck in their ability to harness the winds of fortune, are aided by the gallery audience in their own pilgrimage. The transition allows the work to evolve beyond it's initial installation at Enjoy on their journey to the Indian Horse Chestnut tree housed at The Dowse. Evoking a spiritual sentiment through a sound and colour spectrum, carrying forward an experience to be realised on a ritualistic personal, as well as socio-cultural level.

From Saturday July 16th at Enjoy the audience is invited to co-author and engage with this cross-site artwork Knock On The Sky Listen To The Sound. Please select a wind chime of your choice and make it your own. We'd like to request that the contract hanging from your chosen chime is signed and re-attached. As you engage with the work, please record and submit an image or video of your chime onto our website. The final step of the co-authored participation is to take your chime on a pilgrimage to be hung on the Horse Chestnut tree at The Dowse Art Museum in Lower Hutt.
