ARTWORK 2016

My orchestrated artwork challenges visualizers and listeners to deconstruct and decipher what they hear musically in a modern, edgy, fashionable way. I use geometric shapes to illustrate the grooves of square, triangle, saw, and sine waves. After 2-3 films of paint are applied, fine sand is mixed with vivid hues of oil paint (or in few cases acrylic) to tangibly capture layers of sound. This process is tedious as a new layer of sandy paint is added days after the last layer- as it takes time to coagulate. Once the sand is dried it is sanded to a smoother texture. The painting is then cleaned and finalized in the final stage. The artworks shown are currently in progress and will be finished in early 2017. My work is an invitation intended to be shared and experienced with everyone.
