Protean Cosmos - postcards


Postcards are going out tomorrow for the opening of my solo show 'Protean Cosmos' at the Union League in two weeks. After this I'm disappearing down a rabbit hole.

Ten x Ten collaboration- Deep At Sea

Our collaborative screen print and song “Deep at Sea” uses cool colors and wind instruments to draw inspiration from the waves and movement in the ocean. The visual work responds to the rhythmic direction of the musical layers that gradually pick up tempo from start to finish like the lulling of a wave deep at sea. The “Ten x Ten” artist pairs were divided into warm and cool colors. Strings were assigned to the warm colors pairs and wind for cool colors. The musical compositions were limited to a 3-minute song and they could also incorporate piano and percussion instruments. While we were assigned blue as our one cool color, the other two colors were our choice as long as they fit within a ten x ten inch format. I ended up going with two lighter values of blue as I thought they would work best to describe the nuance in the musical score. The print folio will be released at the concert where all the songs will be performed live. All the prints will be displayed plus and one additional artwork from each visual artist.
