Improv

Improv

This large mobile was originally constructed for the installation at the 2001 Winton Marsalis concert in Grass Valley. In it you may see the musical elements of rhythm – pulsing, driving the music – of melody – voices riding on that rhythm – and of Nothing – the space between notes.

It has subsequently been reworked slightly to fit in lower ceiling spaces -- still, this is a large sculpture which needs at least a 12' ceiling to breathe. High ceilings, anyone?

Airbrushed, textured aluminum sheet; metal rod and wire
