CHI GONGS (TM) ARE MY VERSION OF THE GARDEN
GONG. EACH IS HAND CRAFTED FROM RECYCLED
MATERIALS AND ASSEMBLED TO MY HIGHEST
STANDARDS. THEIR SIZE IS VARIED TO FIT ANY NEED
FROM A SMALL TABLE GONG TO A LARGE GARDEN
SCULPTURE.
I CREATE EACH GONG AS I BUILD IT. I LET IT TELL ME
WHAT IT WANTS TO LOOK LIKE, MOSTLY GUIDED BY IT'S
UNIQUE SOUND. SOME ARE A "CANTILEVER STYLE"
HANGING GONG WHICH WORK VERY WELL WHEN
FASTENED TO A LARGE LIMB OF A TREE OR BEAM OF A
HOUSE, AND SOME ARE "FRAMED" GONGs, WHICH ARE
SUPPORTED IN A HAND HEWED WOODEN FRAME OF
VARIOUS STYLES AND WOODS.
WHILE YOUR LISTENING TO YOUR GONG YOU HAVE THE
KNOWLEDGE THAT ALL OF IT'S COMPONENTS WERE
DESTINED TO BECOME WASTE UNTIL I RECEIVED THEM
AND ASSEMBLED THEM INTO A BEAUTIFUL "SOUND
SCULPTURE. LESSONING THE HUMAN FOOT PRINT ON
OUR EARTH MOTHER WHILE CREATING BEAUTY BOTH
VISUALLY AS WELL AS AUDIBLY.
