Inward Out: Spontaneous Reverberations is an interactive sound and light display in an empty grain silo, a guided walk through a railway field choked with vegetation, and a culminating encounter at the oldest cottonwood tree on the property which is connected back to the silo by a tincan telephone. This experiential artwork envelopes the audience in a series of sensorial engagements that shed light on how our social actions are entangled with an ecological network of spontaneous plants.
