Sarah Kenchington’s practice combines an eclectic mix of influences. She creates makeshift musical instruments fashioned from Hoover parts, bits of plumbing and the stuff of DIY, all conceived and constructed in the same spirit of cooperation as her music. From huge brass instruments played by a complex system of valves and tubes, to an enormous spinning-drum kalimba, or her pedal powered Hurdy-Gurdy, each contraption is spectacular and unique, both aurally and visually.Kenchington will perform lunchtime recitals in the Gallery's Entrance Space as part of her residency at Modern Art Oxford and in Rose Hill.
