Susie MacMurray created this amazing installation at York St. Mary's. In her words: "Echo is constructed from hairnets and the rosin-coated horsehair from used violin bows. Hairnets themselves are fragile, delicate containers, destined to eventually unravel, just like the human body. They are precarious, always on the verge of disintegration. Violin bow hair carries traces of its former use as an accomplice in the intense, sublime and emotive human experience of music making. When I first came across them, coiled up as the violinmaker discards them, they reminded me of little memorial wreaths or Victorian mementos. Echo is a response to St Mary's as a kind of vessel for the traces of profound contemplation, sound, memory, history and human faith." (found on the blog Bus Stop)
