The coiled piece presented here is part of the ‘Pleroma Series’ (Ancient Greek – fullness, plentitude). `oratorios
These constructions are made using 19thCentury music scores that have been cut and spliced end to end. The larger of the three (Beethoven’s Sonatas) measures over a mile in length and has taken me over two hundred hours to produce.
For me, there is a certain amount of reverence that exists in looking at the finished work; not only because of the intensity and meticulousness involved in making the pieces, but also in their transformation from intended use.
Many of my past works, from large sculptural installations to small paintings were made using disregarded literature and music scores.
Perhaps this is a memoriam. Or is it just ‘a record’ of their works?
