The final sculpture executed in Partridge's signature nail medium, “Ottawa Soundscape”, references the topographical landscape of the Ottawa Valley and the patterns of sound waves that the artist was inspired by. Visitors to the space were encouraged to lightly run their fingers over the surface of the nails to create a harp-like sound or drop coins between the nails to create a chime-like reverberations.
