Threading the needle (2024 WSU Recital, #3/8)
Original artwork, 22” x 30” mixed media on paper, unframed
Aaron’s melodies laid the groundwork for this piece, and I chose a bright, intense background to match the energy. As he played, I traced the lines of his music with paint pens, keeping each stroke deliberate and restrained. Despite the explosion of color, the lines pulse with a kind of subtle, contained energy, vibrating with the life of the melodies themselves. The tension between the vivid background and the careful, controlled lines gives this piece its unique rhythm, creating a visual dance in sync with the Dom.7(b9,13) chords shifting in minor thirds.
