11.5” x 7” x 3.5”

A swirl of sanding discs mimics the rising logic of a fugue, but here, the tools are for grinding, not playing. Dremel Fugue turns the tactile language of labor into visual music—where memory, machinery, and erosion form a new kind of harmony.

In Dremel Fugue, refinement and resistance collide. A rhythmic array of miniature sanding discs spirals upward like petals or sound waves, emanating from a core of wiring, bulbs, and terminal connections. Below, brass gears and a rotary shaft suggest motion, while the backdrop—a page from The Scribner Radio Music Library—anchors the piece in an auditory memory. This is not a device for playing music, but for sculpting it. It’s a fugue not of notes, but of friction.
