Harmonious
Harmonious
by Ian Trask

2017

Size: 21 x 3 Inches

Material: piano parts and vaccine vials in a walnut frame


Description

“Some materials demand to be used to very specific ways. For instance when I was given thousands of spent vaccine vials from a veterinarian, the small glass bottles multi-colored tops were the obvious visual focus. A series of work emerged from this collection that presented striking patterns made from the boldly colored caps. Oftentimes though, any art material that sits around the studio long enough screams for reexamination. By flipping the vaccine vials upside down and combining them with piano components, a new and more sophisticated visual narrative was achieved. Like a finely engineered machine frozen in time, Harmonious speaks to both the past and the future of invention, innovation, and progress.”

-Ian Trask, 2018
