Davina Semo's Monumental Bells

Brooklyn Bridge Park has a new art installation by Davina Semo. The work, called "Reverberation" is comprised of five cast bronze bells, which can be rung by visitors in the park, and are meant to recal the maritime communication once common at this waterfront site. The traditional bell form in this work has been changed to an elongated, streamlined sculpture that dangles aloft from a heavy industrial galvanized steel frame. The holes she has drilled through each bell create constellations of light in their darkened interiors and staccato patterns on their exterior shells. Each bell has its own name and sound—Reflector, Singer, Dreamer, Listener, and Mother. They'll be up August 20, 2020 through April 18, 2021.
