Two pieces from my Minerals Series are part of this exhibition taking place in Brooklyn from July 19 through January 2023.

Inspired by an ongoing partnership with the noted Brooklyn Conservatory of Music in their cutting-edge Music Therapy program, The Watermark at Brooklyn Heights gallery presents Sound and Sight: A Duet, an exhibition in collaboration with nAscent Art New York and Brooklyn Conservatory of Music.

Art and music share the ability to communicate across boundaries. As dynamic creative languages, they have the capacity to express emotion, forge connections, evoke memories, and capture the energy or essence of a time or place.

“Sound and Sight: A Duet” brings creative conversations to life between eight artworks and eight original musical compositions by visual artists and musicians in the New York City area. In an exchange between creative minds, nAscent’s curatorial team paired four artworks with four existing musical pieces curated by the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music. Concurrently, the BKCM invited four of its musicians to each compose a new, original piece in response to four additional, existing visual works of art.

The resulting “duets” play with the connection between sound and art, both borrowing from and feeding the other. A jaunty, modern jazz trio captures the kinetic energy of figures against a New York City backdrop, while the graceful flow of abstract brushstrokes is mirrored through the sweet but mournful tones of harp, violin, and bass clarinet.
