As viewers approach the sculptures and navigate the environment, their movements, collective presence, and proximity will be mirrored in the form of wave patterns on the water’s surface, accompanied by resonant infrasonic tones that will fill the air. These polished vessels are crafted to ‘dissolve into their surroundings,’ adopting the unique ambiance of the space and offering a distilled encounter with the captivating sonic properties of water. Lachlan Turczan, an LA-based artist specializing in the interplay of water, light, and sound, presents ‘Sympathetic Resonance.’ Originally created for the ‘Shaped by Water’ exhibition during Milan Design Week 2023 (see designboom’s coverage here), the exhibition will showcase a mesmerizing collection of mirrored sculptures, delicately filled with shallow pools of water. ‘Sympathetic Resonance’ by Lachlan Turczan ‘Criss Cross’ will be on view at ROW DTLA. The patterns were thoughtfully devised to employ leftover materials from previous projects, allowing for a sustainable approach where every piece is meticulously cut from reclaimed resources.

The design team translates the concept of weaving into a contemporary context by creating custom felt modules that seamlessly interlock, forming a vibrant skin across a dome-shaped structure. Studio Left introduces ‘Criss Cross’ as a modern reinterpretation of the ancient Indonesian art of ‘anyaman,’ which involves intricate weaving techniques used for a wide range of applications, from hut walls to other protective structures.
