Soft Spin: A Sound and Sculptural Installation by Heather Nicol

Arts Brookfield

"Soft Spin is a sound and sculptural installation designed for the Winter Garden…. The work features six large-scale fabric forms gracefully swirling overhead, emanating the sounds of intermittent voices in song. Playful tunes, curvaceous hemlines and sundrenched bursts of bright color invite viewers to look up and embrace the unexpected.

"In a bow to the Winter Garden’s 25-year history as a performing arts space, Soft Spin plays with notions of being in the spotlight, on display, or “playing a part.” The gently spinning and singing sculptural forms draw upon theatrical, dance and choral traditions, deftly moving between collective experiences of polis—public place—and the private world of the individual." — AB
