Harpist, composer and sound installation artist, Shelley Burgon is residing at Taft for the Art in Nature Rotating Residency creating compositions and sound installations using the harp as the primary sound source which is then embellished and processed with electronics. Shelley received her MFA in Electronic Music from Mills College and holds an BA in Jazz Studies. Her sound art focuses on handmade sound and light sculptures that combine scientific theories and mysticism to create ambient contemplative experiences. She will be exhibiting a sound and light installation in the Gardens on May 6th and will also perform a new harp composition inspired by the Gardens live at the Evening Fundraiser Event.
