Calligraphy

Calligraphy was inspired by an
exhibition of Asian calligraphy artwork at the Phoenix Art
Museum. The pure beauty of each
piece as a work of art was impressive.
The fact that each item also contained vocabulary
and meaning beyond my understanding was personally intriguing.
In this composition, my attempt
was to capture elements of the blank canvas and the dots,
lines, and curves of the calligraphy, then gradually,
unobtrusively create a melodic and harmonic meaning for the
piece within those gestures. The
piece is partly aleatoric, giving freedom to the performers to
pace these fragmented ideas
within the given structure.
