Handprinted Cyanotype Artwork. Edition of 10 originals
Wind Composition celebrates the century of music that has accompanied our mountain town. A chaotic wind storm fills the sky, formed by layers of sheet music. This visual chaos is my attempt to hear images and see music; when the characteristic wind whips through, I close my eyes and visualize these energetic swirls and movements, which in my mind’s eye become the visible form of the music’s history. This layering of musical history depicts how the past and present resonate in the same space.
Two angled plants spread their seeds across the land, symbolizing the crucial ‘pollination’ of new, young musicians required to keep the Orchestra vibrant for another 100 years.
Further reinforcing the theme of “standing the test of time”, the sun in this artwork was created using an actual tree ring from a Douglas Fir, a long-living tree that grows in the Crowsnest Pass, linking the image to the local landscape.
The composition is grounded by the first of four peaks, Mount Coulthard, from themountain range in Blairmore. The full range was photographed and then drawn before being divided, ensuring that when all four prints in this series are placed side by side, the entire mountain landscape connects.
My personal connection to this legacy is embodied by my 10-year-old daughter, a pianist whose participation in music festivals, including her journey to provincials this year, is the living proof that the Crowsnest Pass’s rich musical tradition continues to thrive.
Artwork Dimensions: 6.5” (w) x 8.5” (h), fits in an 8” × 10” mat and can be placed in any 11” × 14'“ frame.
