2011 7:15 piano trio. violin, ‘cello, pianoBased on Mark Rothko’s Red, Orange, Tan and Purple (1954). The piece translates the physical motions of the brush on Rothko’s canvas to instrumental gestures. Similarly, the piece translates the colours in the proportions they appear on the canvas with different chords. By mechanically translating the processes of the painting the work aims to recreate the luminosity of viewing a Rothko in person.
