For Welcome Disturbances, Méadhbh presented ‘Capriccio‘, a sculpture built using the principles of tensegrity. The sculpture is held together in a web of equilibrium achieved by opposing forces of tension and compression. Violin pegs are used to tension musical strings connecting the 6 wooden struts. No two solid members of the sculpture touch one another. To read more about this piece in an essay written by Méadhbh, please see this extract from the Welcome Disturbances exhibition publication.
