Much of Küng's work turns nature into an instrument, giving it "a mouth to sing." This piece is of a series of Cantos, and its title means "Song for Five Voices." This copper casting asks to be heard as well as seen, creating noise and movement as it blows in the wind. 

Gift of Alfred Harrison and Ingrid Lenz Harrison, 2017.
