Stop 20: Music in the Wind, Wind-harp by Twila Robar-DeCoste
Artist's description of the installation: I have collected drift wood for the Bay of Fundy to make the bow and neck of the harp. The sound box is made from Mercanti wood and poplar boards. The harp is strung with wire much like the Celtic harp. Made birds and bird nests are part of the installation to incorporate the natural world elements.
Our location gets a fair bit of wind, and it is my hope that visitors will hear the sound of nature and the music of the wind when they stop to visit.
I am assisted with the technical aspects and carpentry by my willing neighbours. This has become a bit of a community project, and looked forward to by many in our village.
