In the Shimmering Air

Sonnets, brass text and sound notes, paper clips

Now showing at Wells Art Contemporary, Wells Cathedral, until 1st November 2025

Caro Williams’ installation, In the Shimmering Air, transforms Vivaldi’s Four Seasons sonnets into suspended brass text and sound notes, delicately animated by air and light within the cathedral. Installed in the North Quire aisle, it reflects on rhythm, transformation, and time’s passage, offering a quiet moment of stillness within the processional space.
