Art that Bridges the Universal Languages of Music, Math, and Color
The Sound of Silence
(working title/ work in progress)
The Sound of Silence (working title) consists of 64 black cds mounted on a black panel. When I was creating this work, I flashed on the powerful work of Louise Nevelson. This is my most recent work and it will evolve significantly but I don't want to say how, until I do it.
Nevelson stated that black means totality. It means contains all. It contained all color. It wasn't a negation of color. It was an acceptance. Because black encompasses all colors. Black is the most aristocratic color of all. The only aristocratic color ... I have seen things that were transformed into black that took on greatness. I don't want to use a lesser word.
Art that Bridges the Universal Languages of Music, Math, and Color
In the time of the Ancient Greeks, music was not seen as an art but rather as a quantitative science that was used as a mathematical and philosophical description of how the universe was perceived to be constructed.
"Mess with music, and you're messing with the universe."
