As for these pieces, I
completed them in the beginning of the first quarter. I haven’t had the chance
to put them up, but now is the time I felt best to upload them. In the midst of
their creation, I began to ponder about sound and its power of connecting all
spaces- plane, flat, circular, or cubical. Its power also seemed to find a way
to connect spaces in an aesthetic way where energy is not only flowing, but its
connective, fluid and concentrated. In the first piece, Kraus, I
decided to recreate the face of Alfredo Kraus but with a shown energy movement
between spaces. this piece was the first out of the two and proved to be more problematic
in that I could not portray my ideas exactly onto the paper...I fixated myself
on the aesthetic portion of drawing, making every line perfect and the face
similar to that of Alfredo Kraus. The second piece, L'elisir, proved
to be the more fluid out of the two. Even though the first piece is not
completed, L'elisir, surely proved my imagination
true. In this piece, the energy reverberating off of the singer's body is self-contained;
concentrating the energy in the tips of the fingers and behind the body as it
moves- leaving energy. The energy given off is all around but self-contained
within the character. Both pieces were modeled off of interpreted visions
of the artists or operas from memory; no pictures were used or duplicated.
