 SILK 

The coolness of silky ribbon is soft on your skin as you weave, tie and peg.  The room is emblazoned with colour as you make hanging sculptures in the sky. Your ears are tuned to unusual sonic atmospheres as you move around.

​

SILK is an interactive sculptural space for children set under a large child-sized ceiling.  In a rich and gentle hour-long sensory experience, children are the authors of an ever-changing collective sculpture and the temporary owners of a fantastic new play space.

​

Premiered as an Artplay New Ideas Lab project and then at the Arts Centre Melbourne in 2016, SILK is based on a modular frame that contains sound and lighting.
