Artworks

Objects and materials have always been infused with emotional subconscious underpinnings for me. Through their combination and placement, energetically charged relationships become emotionally animated. This is similar to the emotional subtexts of my music and compositional process.

In tandem with my career as a composer, I have re-embraced my passion for sculpture. In creating illuminated sculptural installations, I want to tap into a deep-level primal fluidity of connections to cultivate emotional intelligence. I am now also interested in the challenges of creativity in these times, and am pulled toward the potency of awe and “sacred spaces.”

For my sculptures, I combine materials in relationships of balance, concealment, containment, and suspended motion. The energy of light is an important aspect of the concepts. These are photographs of small maquettes for larger sculptural installations. A tangential secondary vision is to create physical “listening spaces” in which sculptural installations resonate emotionally with the underpinnings of my music. – RW

And, I’m thrilled to have been accepted into the Critical Forum program with Taliesin Thomas and a great group of artists. (more to come…)
