Si! (2017)
Acrylic on canvas
40 x 30 inches
SOLD in April 2017 to a private collector in Kansas
Responsive painting inspired by a live performance of Si!, a composition for tuba and live electronics composed by Karlheinz Essl; performed at Cider Gallery in Lawrence, KS on April 25, 2017 by Brett Keating and University of Kansas Prof. Bryan Kip Haaheim (North American Premiere).
This piece was one of seven spontaneously-produced paintings as I listened to Brett perform six separate electro-acoustic music compositions for trombone, euphonium and live electronics.
Here’s a video of Essl performing Si! in Innsbruck, Austria on November 29, 2015:
Practicing Eternity (2015)
House paint on canvas

Seeing into darkness is clarity.
Knowing how to yield is strength.
Use your own light
and return to the source of light.
This is called practicing eternity.
– Tao Te Ching, 52 (Mitchell, 1988)
