Interested in synesthesic environments—meaning an environment that invokes all the senses in their totality, but not necessarily in their expected roles—Noah Sheldon presents works that allow a free association of sound and vision, memory, landscape and bodily sensation. An artist New York Times critic Roberta Smith has described as “skilled at separating beauty from the material world, while reminding us it is just about everywhere,” previous works by Sheldon have included a photographic exploration of the rainbows that appear continually in the mist surrounding Niagara falls; an upright piano in which the reverberation of each tone played was modified by successive reverberations; and a motorized wind chime sculpture made from perfectly chiming fence post caps. The results of Sheldon’s work are simple, yet deep-seated.
