A site responsive sculpture that harnesses the winds of the West Texas' Llano Estacado (one of the flattest bioregions in North America, buffeted but a near constant westerly wind) to play an elegiac song.

Taking its form from the ubiquitous ranch gate, a vernacular architecture that dots the Llano and much of rural Texas, I can not get no feed serves as both architecture and large scale instrument. The 64 harp strings strung on the gate's two columns are played by the wind and produce an atonal song, evoking two lonely figures singing to one another in the middle of a rural field.

i can not get no feed is installed at the Tablelands Center for Bioregional Art and was supported in part by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency grant.
