When I sing, I see each note in a bubble of color. It does not arrive as a distinct image or symbol, but as a translucent colored sphere vibrating in space. It feels architectural and alive all at once, as if the tones were constructing a landscape from within. Color behaving like tone, tone behaving like structure.

This body of work grows from that interior phenomenon called Chromesthesia.

From the gouache paintings and collages to the wood relief constructions and wired alabaster, Where the Field Begins to Sing imagines perception as a form of landscape. They are not representations of terrain, but terrains themselves — constructed fields shaped by rhythm, repetition, and interval. Curving lines move like pathways or neural routes. Circular forms act as tonal centers. Geometric forms repeat like markers within a larger rhythmic field. The geometry is deliberate and architectural, yet it suggests organic expansion.

I am interested in the idea of unpruned perception — a cognitive branching that remains connected to various sensory impressions. In that involuntary moment between auditory and visual sensory perceptions, sound becomes color and color becomes a spatial experience. Abstraction, for me, is not reduction. It is expansion. It is resonance gathering into form.

The landscape that emerges is not literal, but imaginal. It is a terrain of listening. Color functions as event rather than decoration. Yellow sustains like a held note. Black shapes create pauses — intervals of breath. Violet modulate atmosphere. Repetition establishes rhythm. Scale determines volume. The works unfold temporally; the eye moves across them the way the ear follows a melody.

In several pieces, musical strings are stretched across the constructed surface. These guitar, cello and Koto strings can be plucked. They vibrate. They sound. The line becomes frequency. What was implied becomes audible. The viewer’s touch activates the work, collapsing the distance between seeing and hearing. The field responds.

One can finally touch the art!

This physical vibration is essential. I want the work to exist not only as visual composition but as resonant body. The string holds tension. The surface holds color. The space between holds potential.

Wrapping copper wire around aural alabaster forms, the lines of tension become traced across stone. The wire suggests containment and conduction at once. It implies that resonance moves through matter, that even solid forms carry vibration beneath their stillness.

Somewhere between color and tone, between silence and sound, between tension and

release — the field begins to sing.

I hope you can join me on Saturday, June 20th for the opening reception of this years worth of work.
