Sun Boxes is comprised of twenty speakers operating independently, each powered by the sun via solar panels. There is a different loop set to play a guitar note in each box continuously. These guitar notes collectively make a Bb (B Flat) chord. Because the loops are different in length, once the piece begins they continuously overlap and it slowly evolves over time. The sounds of Sun Boxes has been described as both soothing and energizing. The Sun Boxes project has toured the country since 2009, and his pieces, including works like Sound Swings and Wilson Circle, have been featured in places such as the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
Craig Colorusso has been making permanent pieces around Northwest Arkansas and beyond with works such as Sound Swings, Moon Pod, Cover Bridge ONE, El Segundo, Wilson Circle and Path of The Bumblebee. He currently lives in Rogers, Arkansas with a wife, a daughter, and four cats.
