Taking a music theory course in college taught me how logic, self-discipline and reasoning skills come together in
creating this international language of music. I use these same disciplines in creating my art. Creating a
delft-blue-china quality to the instrument, I chose to cover my violin in Cyanotype prints of violin musical notation.
The Cyanotype is a photographic printmaking process, whereby I coat the paper with an ultraviolet
light sensitive chemical, expose the paper to sunlight, and then develop it in water. I then used the
paper-mâché technique to apply the prints to the violin. In the words of John Keats,
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.
