View all threadsI would like to announce* Passages*, a nine-part unique artist book (82
drawings) with an accompanying nine-part musical score. All art, music
composition and performance is my work.
First I composed the musical suite as an impression of a journey through
periods of a possible lifetime that may or may not resemble my own. Then I
illustrated the music with drawings on both sides of paper panels executed
in a variety of inks and wet media. There are from three to seven panels
for each of the nine parts of Passages for a total of 41 panels with 82
original drawings.
Embedded in each panel are three small pieces of steel and a magnet. This
allows for linking the images together in many combinations to illustrate
the multiple pathways, choices, or alternate universes that may exist in a
lifetime journey. The panels for each Passage are enclosed in a
polycarbonate envelope. All nine envelopes, plus a tenth with information
and video and music electronic files, are contained in an acrylic case.
13" x 13" x 7.5".
See the link below for a video of the work and more information.
