Aria
is
the latest addition to the
Music
Series
of sculptures.
It joins other sculptures that include
Rhapsody,
Counterpoint,
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
connotes a sweeping costume. Aria
is stylistically similar to
Rhapsody.
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.
These gentle sculptures sway
(metaphorically because of their design) to a music they either hear
or are producing.
