about

LINE_008

Of Surfaces suggests an incremental process of reduction. Compositional focus placed in the space between sounds and silence. Barely audible events negotiated through surfaces-implied sounds heard through the conduit of a surface, sounds in another room, in between and beyond surface levels create the fabric of this work. of surfaces is a space between the Chartier’s pointalist series and the layered orchestrations of decisive forms exploring the relationship between sound, silence, focus, and the act of listening.
