in-Stability: Allanah Stewart
in-Stability is a performance series running Thursday nights through August and September as part of my Stability exhibition, where artists from a variety of disciplines are invited to perform with my kinetic sound sculpture and projection works.
Allanah Stewart describes her music as ‘punk music for dust mites and church mice’. She is a drummer/percussionist (who plays in local outfits Snacks and Propolis) who extends her practice into sound sculpture and instrument building. Allanah is one of the most subtle and deft percussionists I know, I’m excited to hear how she duets with my sound sculptures.
