Aria is the latest addition to the Music Series of sculptures.  It joins other sculptures that include Rhapsody, Crescendo, Syncopation, and Senritsu (Melody). 

I look at Aria and see a singer, well-trained and confident, opening her mouth to start singing a solo aria in Opera. Aria is about being a confident person in a competitive environment.  The reason for thinking Aria belongs in an opera genre is the stippling of the upper third of the sculpture and also the sweeping lines which connotate a sweeping costume.

About the Music Series
Music is an ephemeral medium.  It exists as a two-dimensional entity on a sheet of paper called a score.  It exists as a momentary auditory experience in a performance.  The Music Series is my way of making a two-dimensional/momentary experience a tangible three-dimensional solid.
