Created during a residency at the I-Park Foundation, Vireo’s Call / Molt is a site-responsive sculptural installation that bridges the acoustic vitality of the natural world with the visceral textures of transformation. The work synthesizes discarded industrial matter—including a decommissioned refrigerant pipe peeled from its outer casing—with delicate, tactile elements of weather and sound. Intricately woven, vibrant nets catch the light and slice through the studio space, mimicking the atmospheric frequencies and birdsongs of the surrounding landscape. Central to the piece is a deep tension between shedding and structure; a heavy, bag-like fabric casing suspends and drops a cascading sequence of vintage piano hammers that spills out across the concrete floor. This repetition of wooden and felt mechanical parts strangely morphs into an organic form, resembling ancient vertebrae or a discarded skeletal spine left behind after a seasonal shedding. Through this intersection of industrial debris, avian reference, and anatomical echoes, the installation explores the concept of the "molt"—a vulnerable, necessary cycle of peeling back old layers to give shape to the new.
