The text exists without being written. The text is a sound. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018The Playlist\u2019 is a series of fifteen watercolors with quotes from a personal playlist I was given which contained 15 different songs. I took a quote from each song and made a watercolor, set the font size and picked a color that related back to the content of the text and the feeling the song gave me. As a body of work they symbolize a relationship between the maker of the playlist and me, the person listening. <\/span><\/p>\n

Taken out of their musical context they become individual statements but they also formed a new narrative with each other. Creating a story beyond the individual songs and their various messages. Can they be given a new melody? Can one sing a painting? What is the text without its music? Do we read the text out loud? Do we read it with melody or rhythm? Or are the worlds just hanging there on the paper without sound? <\/span><\/p>\n

Every piece in the series has a footnote linking the text back to the original song, stating the artist or band as well as the order it holds in the playlist.\u00a0
