This sculpture is made from the parts
of an abandoned piano. I have dissembled the parts and rearranged
them into a landscape that hangs on the wall. It has a horizontal
surface supported by old mahogany brackets that once held the keyboard
to the legs. On top of lying flat are other fluted brackets. Across
the flat horizontal surface the landscape, a garden with plants
of curly string ends, brick walls made of black keys, rows of red
flowers made from string dampeners, and people made of paired of
hammer actuators lounging and dancing in the garden. Rising from
the garden are two columns supporting a beam. The background the
sloping ribs with the soundboard still attached. Above the beam
the columns support are clouds of white and pink piano hammers and
breaking through the clouds a full moon measuring 6 inches made
of a spiraled copper piano string.
