Autumn Lights Festival:

Gall Lanterns

Buzzwords



"Buzzwords" is a sound sculpture installation of large illuminated paper wasp nests hand-made of fabric and paper-mache, suspended from above under a large oak tree, newly created for this year's Autumn Lights Festival.

The hive cells of the wasp-nest glow, and downward-directed small speakers hidden in the nest emit a chorus of human beings imitating the sounds of wasps, bees, cicadas, and other insects.
