another, another green world, 2003
solo exhibition: the another silent green world, pomona college museum of art, pomona california, 2003 (catalog)

the another another green world sculptures were made with eyes closed, listening to different pieces of music from brian eno's LP another green world, which i received as a gift when i was in grammar school. i have been making blind listening drawings for years, and wanted to expand the possible audio reactions of my hands to include sculptural forms. eno's record was one of the first things i heard that made me think about sound abstractly. there are 14 sculptures - one for each track on the LP. the six shades of green glaze are based on a system of grouping 'songs' (and sculpture sessions) by rounding up or down their lengths to the nearest half minute- the shortest tracks featuring two shades of green, and the longest featuring 7 shades of green. these time based groupings also determined the height of each base.
