about

In Yorkshire, it is traditional that rhubarb plants grow in dark shades as part of a process known as forcing. After being exposed to frost, the buds are moved into dark shades to encourage starch production and growth. In forcing, the stems become exceptionally tall and sweet and acquire a red-pinkish colour result of the arithmetical energy calculations that rhubarbs perform in the absence of sunlight. The stems, release acoustic energy after overproducing chemical energy, creating a sound that is as unique as their colour and flavour, which is the focus of this installation. Recorded on March 8th in Robert Tomlinson yard in Pudsey.
