Fugues

When my Dad passed on he left behind a stash of manuscript paper. Since I am not a composer, I saw a challenge to use this paper in a different, visual way. One of the solutions I found was to cut, weave and fit strips together, inspiring me to call this collection "Fugues", after the German meaning "fitted together." All I Ask Is a Tall Ship and Cathedral Town are 100% woven, modified with ink or graphite shading. The drawings on Aztec* green manuscript paper were started by brushing fluid gestures in sumi ink, then working back into them with colored pencils, graphite and ink. Totem, Germinal and Fugue in Gold are all variations on this theme.

*Aztec refers to the brand name of this music manuscript paper.
