"Fantasy for Tailpieces and Pegs"
Most stringed musical instruments are equipped with a tailpiece, located at the lower end of the instrument. They are also equipped with pegs (sometimes called keys) positioned at the upper end of the instrument. In this sculpture, more than a hundred tailpieces and pegs are fancifully grouped into an oval, fleshy and graceful shape, representing a particular note figure: the whole note, which has a long time value. The whole metaphorically illustrates a string orchestra. We consider this "whole note" as the symbol of a suspended moment, favoring both listening to tunes composed by humans and those resulting from nature since organic forms are also present and evoke the vibrant and melodious sounds resulting from it. |
