mixed media sculpture with sound: Baby Lament

The Sound Works are seven self-standing sculptures (see linked items) made of unexpected combinations of materials and object parts. They each produce a different sound, ranging from white noise and ambient sounds captured by the artist to the voice of Durham himself talking, singing, swearing and shouting.
