The experimental collection, based around the unique properties of ceramic slip, laboratory glassware and
victorian drawing machines, will be produced on site in the gallery, culminating in an evening view open to all on Thursday 1 August.
Taking inspiration from musical harmony, Shawcross has used a
machine based on the
Victorian harmonograph — with its two pendulums that
draw the oscillation of a sound wave — to map the complex shape of a specific piano chord that is falling into silence.
