While it has been said that music is the most abstract
of the arts, discussions concerning non-figuration are now firmly married
to the history of painting. Painting's foremost dimension is spatial and sound's
foremost dimension is temporal. When they overlap in concept, or in installation
space, there is a proliferation of both relations and un-relations, a proliferation
of both correspondences and incoherencies. It is such falling-together and
falling-apart that drives my investigation.
