Dust of Snow drawings
20 drawings (10 diptychs), colored pencil on paper, each drawing 24.5"x8.5," 2009
These drawings represent variations of the rhythms of the musical composition Dust of Snow from 1942 by Elliott Carter (with text by Robert Frost). The colored squares are representations of variations created by using the Cuisenaire Rods, a music and math teaching tool developed in the 1920s by Belgian schoolteacher Georges Cuisenaire.
