Underground Sculpture LeRoy Stevens Underground Sculpture (2012) is an installation comprised of seventy-five 20 foot lengths of steel rebar buried below the ground. Viewers interact with the sculpture by using a variable pitch metal detector. Experienced primarily as an auditory-visual sculpture, the following recordings were made between 2012 to 2014 and represent various ways of interacting with the installation. Underground Sculpture is located in the Mojave Desert at the Center for Land Use Interpretation (CLUI) Desert Research Station. To visit, please write clui@clui.org or smallworldmfg@gmail.com. Side 1 Length of Walk 16:39 Walking throughout the installation with a metal detector, allowing the orientation of the buried steel rebar to direct my movements.

The two recorded tracks are overlapped and presented here at equal volume.
