Spike Island Bell (2014)
Spike Island Bell audio 
Ceramic Bells (2011)
Bronze bells shown include Untitled (Wishes 1 - 4) and Bullet Bells
Untitled (Wishes 1 - 4) first shown in Rootstein Hopkins Parage
Ground, London 2010: This work alludes to the East Asian temple
traditions of bells with wind flags, donated and hung by pilgrims,
ringing in the wind and speaking the many wishes of intercession
intended for those in need.
Bullet Bells (2009) were made by upcycling 9mm shells and offcuts
of oak sleepers (bells measure 24cm diameter each).

In asking, “who is listening?” you are at first conscious
of the question as well as the sound. When the questioning penetrates
deeper, you cease to be aware of it. So when a bell rings it is
only the bell listening to
the sound of the bell. Or to put it another way, it is the
sound of yourself ringing.
From: Kapleau, P. (1965) The Three Pillars of Zen.
