Mind, Body and Spirit

PUBLIC INSTALLATION

Mind, Body, and Spirit was commissioned for the Baumann Centre through Pacific Opera Victoria. This installation is the result of combining the knowledge of experts in acoustics, architecture and lighting, with the aesthetic and cultural sensibilities of an Indigenous artist. The work functioned to enhance three areas of the space: acoustics, visual appeal, and the creative spirit. Carey intended this work to offer a harmonious environment dedicated to the creation of art and music.
