The Glasshouse Artist in Residence, Nat Sharp, invites you to a private sharing of SPUME, a multisensory installation blending reflected light, immersive sound, and tactile encounters.  

Lie down on a soft seabed, absorb healing frequencies, and practice the art of horizontalism — gazing upward through a shimmering surface where glass buoys drift and scatter light across the space.  

The soundscape, built with subtle and intuitive technologies, resonates through the room in ways that invite you not just to listen, but to feel and participate fully — creating a gentle, shared presence.  

The work is rooted in Nat’s personal stories and expansive influences: from childhood memories of the Merchant Navy to the ancient vibrations of the Solfeggio scales, matriarchal sirens, sonic body transduction, and ecological reflection.  

This is an invitation to slow down and explore a rich, inclusive world of connection and creativity.  

Note: This is an open sharing so visitors can drop in at anytime between 11am-5pm. The building is closed to the public so entry is via Stage Door.
