This work was part of solo show CURIOSA, opened at Novembar gallery in January 2020.
I see this sculpture as another form of a drawing. This time the line has transformed into a tangible object we can perceive more extensively with not just our minds, but with our physical bodies as well.
This work is created as a static inscription of a three-dimensional music composition. It is a moment in time, captured and documented in another form. Every shape, curve, colour and line can be transposed into a different sound, creating a piece we can now “hear" with our eyes, our fingertips…
I was inspired by the composer Eric Satie who referred to himself as a "phonometrograph" or "phonometrician" - meaning "someone who measures and writes down sounds", preferring this designation to that of “musician”.
