Amplifiers
This work explores sound amplification, functionality, beauty, accessibility, and playfulness. The whisper tubes mimic the horn and bell of a phonograph and have become a form symbolic of modern communication devices. I enjoy the idea of bringing the traditional aspects of handmade ceramic objects into modern life, creating an object that pairs with your phone or tablet. I use mine for listening to music, watching videos, phone calls and zoom parties; they’re mobile, can be used in any room, inside or outside. Just place your phone on it vertically or horizontally and go about your business; the whisper tube amplifies the sound from your device and it keeps your hands free.
