About

In this work, cycles of accumulation and decay move in broad wave-like gestures, recalling the sea. I am fascinated by the potency of the tiniest gesture, syllable or phoneme. Having no 'meaning' in itself, the syllable 'and' is weightless and transient, yet holds enormous power to link ideas; to create anticipation/momentum. It is like a wave bearing thought towards utterance. ...and...11 was composed for, and is dedicated to, Chachi and Lontano.
