Cylindrical glass beads
With discerning, masterful use of color, Claire Kahn visualizes the behavior of sound through pattern and progression. Here, purely with cylindrical glass beads, she creates a piece where the eye is taken through a stimulating spectrum that arouses feeling of movement and alteration. A beacon of yellow slowly subsides into hues of green, which then preserves itsgentle descend into blue and then once more into purple. To which, purple is held directly in contrast with yellow once again to jolt the progression forward. If color were a pitch, imagine how that may fluctuate just by observing this composition before your eyes.
This piece is part of Claire Kahn's mini series, Doppler;exploring the point where opposites attract, the artist contrives one of a kind pieces that visually communicate the natural phenomenas of sound (ie. The Doppler Effect)
