For the past couple of years I have wanted to make a 3D work that encompasses both the skeletal forms of the cast elements and the calligraphic tracks. It took a while but I found that I could create a 3 dimensional representation of the calligraphy from soldered copper wire dipped in gesso and marble dust.

The first small sculpture is titled Traces: That which we leave behind. The 3rd movement of Beethovens String Quartet #16 captures the mood of th piece, and is his penultimate composition.

The second small sculpture is titled: That which we leave behind, Blood Count. The Stan Getz alto solo, Blood Count, is from his final concert.
