Hubcaps sound sculpture, marque 2

A resurrection! The original sound sculpture on Nimbin’s Rainbow Walk was attacked by a thief who wanted the hubcaps. (Read original story here)

They struck at night with a bag to carry out the loot. Probably wearing a
balaclava to remain anonymous.

A new set of hubcaps now is in place so the general public can have a go.
This is was a collaborative effort.

A new set of hubcaps is now in place so the general public can have a go. This was a collaborative effort. Neil drilled the holes to reduce the value of the hubcaps.

Pauline and Barry installed them, tightening the wires, and I had the arduous task of recording the process. There was no cleaning or polishing this time, hubcaps in their natural form – rusty and dirty.

The two tubular gongs installed by Sam are still hanging from the ladder. The first sculpture lasted three months… this time I’m aiming at three years.
