Music Series No.2 "Towards Silence" Homage to Morton Feldman.
During the 1960's I heard a piece of music by Morton Feldman, where he was concerned
with the intervals between sounds, varied chords & formations of notes & contrasts
of sound to near silence. I was very interested in these ideas and unusually
for me this painting, based on this music was finished within a few days. This
was the next stage on from "10 themes and variations". The varied relationships
of complex chords, suspended within a void, the whole held cohesive by interval
and placement. I attempted to create 2 "movements", contrasts of sound, and
then towards silence as close harmony colour and close to visual legibility.
The long shape of the painting, read left to right symbolising the development
of time and space.
