Unscripted

I search for space, the way it feels, the way it breaths and the way line and space express themselves. Today’s drawing is the first preliminary sketch for a series I’ve been meaning to do for some time. The nice thing about this blog is working out some visual concepts before working them up the paint.

A thought provoking abstract. I see a woman in the picture and I wonder what she is thinking. Is she waiting on someone? Annoyed?

My interests are in visualizing the physics of music, musicality itself, composers thought processes and what orchestration looks like, the physicality of performance, sounds, essentially, all things musically related. My art is more about the integral thought processes and physical nuances that unique musical performance and authorship, brings. My visual music it meant to expand peoples ideas about art and music experience. Visualizing conceptual considerations of music has always been a preoccupation of mine. I spent my youth at the foot of my mother's piano jumping around, trying to catch all the colors that would emerge from the air, as she played her favorite pieces. I didn't realize until much later that I have synesthesia. I see color and feel touch when I hear sounds, especially musical ones. One of the many joys of having a public studio is the rare chance to meet other synesthetes who immediately ask me if I have synesthesia after seeing the art.
