The Measure of Dissonance
10” x 6.5” x 1.5”
Where rhythm fails and beauty endures—The Measure of Dissonance explores the friction between structure and fracture. Brass mechanics meet ephemeral paper, rich textures echo lost songs, and shimmer reveals the unseen harmony in disorder.

A brass escape wheel anchors this composition—a relic of engineered time—while an abstract center panel glows with wine-colored stains, graphite fractures, and glimmers of gold. Fragmented sheet music and antique newsprint echo through the background, while a vertical column of watch crystals captures mysterious, distant reflections. The work contemplates order and entropy, the exactness of music against the chaos of breakdown.
