Cylindrical glass beads
With discerning, masterful use of color, Claire Kahn visualizes the behavior of sound through pattern and progression. Here, purely with cylindrical glass beads, she creates a piece where the eye is taken through a stimulating spectrum that arouses feeling of movement and alteration. Bright, fluid tones of orange and purple to yellow, green and blue irradiate a palette ofsheer delight. Traveling from light to dark, Claire's progression lightly bounces from one line of interest to the next. As versatile as it is just a fine, palpable expression of adornment; wear simply around the neck, or wrap three times around the wrist to wear the work as a bracelet.If color were a pitch, imagine how the sound would fluctuate in the composition you see before your eyes.
This piece is part of Claire Kahn's mini series, Doppler;exploring the point where opposites attract, the artist contrives one of a kind pieces that visually communicate the natural phenomenas of sound (ie. The Doppler Effect)
