For his exhibition Currents 118 at the Saint Louis Museum of Art, Sime created Tightrope: Eyes and Ears of a Bat (1), 2020, a large, bowl-shaped form covered in dense patterns made from braided, colored wires. The artist found a connection between the Cahokia Mounds, which were hand built from compressed clay, and his own architectural work at the Zoma Museum, which he built and co-founded with Meskerem Assegued in Addis Ababa.
