I was invited to organize and curate an exhibition in conjunction with SunWaves Guitar Fest, the Guitar Foundation of America’s international festival organized by the Miami Classical Guitar Society. I invited 31 multidisciplinary artists from Miami and New York to create works exploring the resonance of sound and the classical guitar, spanning drawing, painting, photography, ceramics, installation, and sound sculpture.
A central feature of the exhibition was a ceiling installation of sewn leaves suspended on strings by Miami artist Karen Rifas, weaving through the gallery to echo the lyrical motion of music. Because the gallery’s walls, floor, and ceiling were entirely tiled in red and could not be drilled, I commissioned custom freestanding display walls designed to suction to the tile without damage.
I designed the exhibition as a flowing sequence, considering how each artwork related visually to works adjacent to and across from it through form, style, concept, color, and material. The resulting installation created a multisensory experience that reflected the vibration, rhythm, and resonance of sound across a variety of media.
