G Sharp

With movement the invisible action such as drawing focus or directing attention through motion is created by zooming the lens while the shutter is open. A steady pace extended through the 2.5 seconds exposure gives the dramatic feeling of being pulled or sucked into something.

G# major is a theoretical key; it contains a double-sharp and therefore would normally be notated as Ab Minor as they are the same pitches in the same order. Sounds and music are kinetic mechanical energy.

This piece is from my series C# Minor which explores the concepts of consonance and dissonance within music theory. Long exposure and movement of the camera aims to capture how music can direct attention, pull focus, and the calming or jarring effect of sounds to the mind. While “Rachmaninoff” celebrates the composer’s use of suspended harmony, all the pieces are meant to reflect the concept of dissonance, its demand to be resolved to consonance within music theory and the perceived emotion from music. Consonant chords are sounds that are usually found to be pleasant and stable whereas, in contrast, dissonant chords tend to be clashing and generally evoke tension. Though the perception of dissonance is more subjective and context-related, it is widely believed to be jarring due to the complex frequency ratio expressed in a chord. Music notes are expressed as frequencies and intervals are the distance between two musical notes. A simple interval ratio produces more perfect mathematical ratios understood to be consonant. These concepts have been shown to affect mood and most people recognize dissonance as ‘sad’ or ‘wrong’ and consonant as ‘happy’ sounds.

This art exhibition celebrates floral bouquets and fine wine. This might include a portrait of your garden, still life paintings of table settings, a beautiful bottle of wine, your favorite flower or beverage. We will also be including some abstract pieces and florals of all kinds.

Fracture Jellies, digital photography composite cyanotype on broken mirror collage encased in resin acrylic

Jellies Polyptych, set of 8 individual digital photography cyanotypes on broken mirror encased in resin acrylic

These cyanotype pieces are a result of experimentation with cyanotypes on different mediums, gelatin is cooked with cyanotype chemistry to produce a solution that will bind to glass surfaces. Glass plates or broken mirror is coated with the emulsion and then exposed in sunlight using a negative processed from a digital photograph or composite and printed on transparent film. The full oxidation and vibrancy of the classic Prussian blue takes as long as 24 hours to fully develop, after which the broken mirror is encased in UV resistant resin acrylic.

Join us for the opening reception of Prelude, a preview show of the Sanford Porchfest 2023 art auction organized by Hollerbach's Art Haus to benefit the Porchfest Foundation.

Artists featured in this preview show, as well as those represented in the silent auction on February 25 during Sanford Porchfest, have donated their works to help fund arts scholarships for Seminole County youth through the Porchfest Foundation. Bid sheets will be posted for early offers!

Sanford Porchfest is a free outdoor music festival in historic Sanford, and Sanford Porchfest is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that unifies its community through music with the mission of enhancing access to and promoting the arts through educational scholarships. The vision of Sanford Porchfest is to be an authentic and altruistic organization that helps unify the Sanford community through access to music, access to arts education, and access to each other. Sanford Porchfest seeks to create opportunities for families, friends and neighbors to unite over a common thread - music.

100% of the proceeds from the festival–collected through donations, sponsorships, art auction and merchandise sales–are returned to the community in the form of performing arts summer camp tuition sponsorships and awarding arts scholarships to local high school seniors and college students through Sanford Porchfest’s established scholarship funds.

Proud to have Rachmaninoff Monochrome, Prelude, and Op.3 No.2 included in the Visual Fringe Gallery from part of my series C# Minor. Exploring the concepts of consonance and dissonance within music theory, these pieces celebrate Rachmaninoff’s use of suspended harmony with dissonant chords (i.e., clashing sounds), demanding to be resolved to consonant chords ( i.e., pleasant and stable sounds). Camera movement reflects how music can capture attention, direct focus, and the calming or jarring effect of sounds to the mind.
