This project came about through a simple flash of inspiration during a few minutes of downtime one day: I had a vision of some sort of organic art in which individual cells or organisms were represented by a structure like stained glass, which in my execution became squares of various degrees of transparency. I equipped each square with a four-way color gradient that allowed seamless placement next to other squares with different colors. This was a tricky thing, but I think it might offer a somewhat richer texture than some of my other work. Click here to view 10 random high-resolution images out of a batch of 501.

Please join the Halcyon String Quartet and actor David Troup for their first public performance of my quintet After All in Belfast on February 2!

The Halcyon String Quartet and actor David Troup recently gave my quintet After All a wonderful premiere in Rockland, Maine. Video here. Score here.

The text is comprised of testimonies of Halcyon’s supporters and audience members concerning their hopes, dreams, concerns, and fears for and of the future, plus a brief quotation of a poem by Kate Barnes, Maine’s first Poet Laureate, at the very end.

Here’s the result of the previous batches of landscape studies! The idea of these pieces has been with me since a visit to the University of Wisconsin–Madison Arboretum around 2010. Their inspiration is ecological succession — in particular, the spread of plants across a disturbed flat landscape. Click here to view 10 random high-resolution images out of a batch of 1691.
