The Conch [sound studio] is a mobile architectural caravan sculpture made from larch and ply, made in the shape of a sea shell which houses a solar powered sound system. It is a place for visitors to sit and listen to conversations around the challenge of creating sustainable communities in the future. These conversations have been collected on the Conch's travels to remote communities within the Highlands of Scotland. 'Tuning into the thoughts of communities on the brink of transformation, The Conch (Sound Studio) is a travelling structure - part shell, part ark – gathering people’s hopes and fears for the future, questing for a change in consciousness. Apocalyptic thinking or positivist transformation, the survival strategies of a new world order are whispered from its walls' Eleanor Garty, Sept 2010
