Body of Work:"Charcoal Drawings"

This series is made with images from earlier intaglio prints chopped up and collaged into the piece.  The symbols are personal calligraphic representations made while listening to various forms of music, including symphonic, tribal and folk forms.

Goes back to my graduate school days +25 yrs ago,  when I was influenced by my Japanese language studies and the kanji's (Japanese alphabet) visual impact on me as a written system of communication.  Having always been very interested in music of all kinds (I play the piano) I decided to create my own visual system of musical interpretation.  One mind you, that was not meant to be ‘readable and playable’, but rather enjoyed visually.  The drawings represent a visualization of the energy of the musical sounds themselves.
