B Flat
14" x 11" x 2"
B Flat blends musical notation with salvaged mechanics and poetic snippets to create a meditation on stillness and sound. The worn artifacts and tonal elements invite viewers to consider what lies between the notes—memory, movement, and the beauty of the unresolved.

A composition of poetic fragments, vintage brass piping, musical notation, and mechanical remains, B Flat echoes the quiet tension between resonance and rust. Nestled among the gears and glass, a clipped poem entitled A Gold Thread subtly ties emotion to material memory, while the sepia-toned seascape suggests motion restrained—waves frozen mid-crash, music paused on the page. It is both harmonic and industrial, with a softness that lingers beneath hard metal and worn textures.
