This sculpture of dance moves to the coloured score created by wind. The Butcher's Dance is a song from my series of performance instruments. The sculpture is given its form by the transience of nature and captures the energetic movement of air.
This piece of music warms up, and warms down by dancing. It takes serious pleasure in an intimate movement in architecture, decoration, colour and sound.
