Chorale   2011

Timber, nylon builders line, lead sinkers. In this installed work I am attempting to express in a light-hearted  way the connections I feel between the ways in which I work as a  visual artist and the ways in  which musical language is structured, both in sound and in the visual impact of notes on a page.
The patterning of the weights which tension the strings is based on a  twelve tone melody - the melody constructed (rather than composed)  
using  all the half tones of the scale.  This melody has then been  manipulated through inversion and retrogression. …

… I chose to position this work under the stairs.  The stepped form (in inversion) may suggest the stepped ranks of a choir.  The result I hope reflects the visual  joy of performance and particularly our  tradition of choral music.

Chers amis, je m'absente pour deux semaines,. Voyage à San Francisco pour changer mes idées et mon moral.

Retour ici pour début janvier avec de nouveaux thèmes.
Merci à bientôt.
