Maestro -- Musical Decanter Series

This series explores the shapes of bottles and how a liquid, decanting, becomes more of itself. In my mind, that connects with the roundness and richness of some musical notes, especially the strings in an orchestra-- and how those held notes can become magically "More."

This piece is part of my Simpson Exhibit “Movement.” Let me tell you about it.
 
During 2024, I’ve been purposely leaving visual evidence of MOVEMENT in my artwork. 
 
Why does MOVEMENT matter? 
 
In life, we don’t always like changes that come into our lives and sometimes we do everything possible to resist making needed changes. 
 
In contrast, when we choose to make moves– literal or metaphorical– they’re usually positive. 
 
The exploration and play involved in creating these art pieces felt positive to me. They showcase making artistic choices and staying open to whatever comes next. 
 
I hope any of the pieces in this exhibit-- whether you see them at the gallery or bring them to your home-- will serve as positive reminders of the positivity related to “choice” and the beauty of moving forward.
