Large scale interactive artwork Premiered at Vivid 2019. Also shown at Woodford 2019-20, Sand Safari 2020 and Curiocity 2020.

The Harp of the City is a giant public instrument that produces sound and an interactive light show. Like any master-crafted instrument, each of the 14 harps is completely unique, carved by hand out of wood. This gives each harp its own character, which is mirrored in both form and sound. From the lighting to the contours, each harp's design is simple and beautiful, waiting to be brought vividly to life by anyone who plucks the strings.
