John and Mike have been busy with their Horarum at St Mary’s Church, Debenham, for the Debenham Arts Festival.
Horarum is an audio installation in the church porch such that the audience listens to the sound of the church clock ticking picked up by microphones in the tower and relayed via computer to speakers in the porch.
It is open throughout the festival (9th to 12th July) - apart from Saturday afternoon when there is a wedding in the church, and on Sunday morning.

Our friend Tim Hunkin has now finished the arch for the children’s area at London Zoo, that we saw when we visited his workshop on that cold windy day in January. Tim’s has written a really nice description of how the arch developed from concept to installation.
