Rhapsody in Blue (George Gershwin)
Glossy digital print on metal with wire frame backing (finished size 12" x 12").
PRINTED TO ORDER (allow 7 business days for processing) onto an aluminum surface using a dye-sublimation process that uses heat to transfer the dye onto the metal, with a high-gloss finish that affords vibrant color and crisp detail. Wire order frame backing (pictured) provides sturdiness, depth, and ease of hanging.
My background as both a classically trained pianist and an industrial engineer informs this series, in which I assign colors, shapes, glyphs and/or other graphic elements to each half-tone on the musical scale, then create visual representations of selected songs or song fragments. The work is partly aleatoric, that is, driven by the initial assignments; variability is enhanced with the selective manipulation of grid size, aspect ratio, choice of song fragment, inclusion of harmonies (or not), and other attributes, as well as occasional aesthetic liberties (e.g., image rotation, duplication, etc.).
