estigious sculptural exhibitions in Australia. Director of the McClelland Gallery Robert Lindsay stated; "the Plowright work was a clear winner exceptionally popular". A discussion on Terrance's sculpture was broadcast by Radio National where excerpts from his soundscape were played. "The work surprises you as you walk through the forest gallery, with an enormous explosion of pipes; then Tibetan bells gently ring out followed by a cello. The soundscape is interactive, so those walking around the sculpture will trigger other bells and cello phrases and harmonics by their presence". The 4.5 metre high sculpture was created from a varied range of stainless steel tubes. Mr Plowright said he was inspired by the magnificent Pipe Organs of Europe and the simple but elegant Egyptian Pan Flute. Within the sculpture are 3 five inch speakers and 1 three inch speaker placed strategically within the top pipe. Within four other tubes reside 3 ultrasonic sensors and 1 infrared sensor. The soundscape was created using a Nepalese Singing Bowl, small bells, a cymbal and cello. The singing bowl acts as a bell and the cello plays a base melody, with interwoven cello phrasing and harmonics appearing throughout the work. When a hand passes over one of the ultrasonic sensors other instrumental sounds become interwoven within the soundscape. Plowright's artwork can be found throughout Australasia and internationally. A few of his major Sydney works are at Bondi Junction, the SCG, Hyde Park, Central Station, Darling Harbour, Pyrmont Wharf, Parramatta and Echo Point in the Blue Mountains. Just recently Plowright was invited to represent Australia at the Florence Biennale in November 2013, as well as exhibiting in New York, March/April 2015.
