Music often refers to things seen or envisioned: Think of Moussorgsky’s 'Pictures at an Exhibition' or Respighi's 'Pines of Rome'. These sculptures reverse the process. They are music, realized as physical shape.
This body of work began two years ago with a fraction of a second of a Thelonious Monk piano solo transformed directly into
polished stainless steel.
A
larger Monk-based work changes color according to the shape of the music. From a Philip Glass piano solo, a 10' x 18' floor sculpture. A
15' outdoor piece honors Charlie Parker.
160' MONK WALL was commissioned by the
Katonah Museum of Art.
Here it is in the snow.
