United Way Building, Winnipeg, 2010
Commissioned by Winnipeg Arts Council & United Way Winnipeg

YOU YOU + YOU is an instrument played with others and informed by the idea of community participation.  On a vast wall is an illuminated and graphic image, the braille for Y O U.  It refers to the 'you' that participates in the community; the braille also includes and excludes, a reminder about acceptance.  It is an interactive piece with talking stick.

Hand prints invite you to touch talking stick, each print triggering a note of music.  A melody is created as more people join in and many notes are played.  Each hand print is also linked to a light on the fin wall - the music becoming visible.
