The Secrets Spoke stages the modern day dining table as a meeting ground. Inevitably this rectangular wooden object enforces physical separation and suggests emotional discord. The two opposing sculptures silently exist. The mound of soil, seeds, sprouts and monofilament offer a metaphorical display of conversation between the two. 

The viewer was invited to join the table and listen to the unnerving tension and subtle commonalities spoken through sound and frequency. It is only until the viewer becomes an active participant, that they can piece together the secrets spoken between the two entities.
