I first heard this audio by Bob Ross and immediately thought how well it paired with this painting. Reading more into the backstory, I learned that this was recorded when his wife passed. The weight and sorrow these words must’ve carried, and yet he still talked about light. 

This set represents beauty in brokenness. I first created the statue, with white on the left and black on the right. I then used the shape to create a painting that is its exact inverse, with black on the left and white on the right. 

I titled the set “Harmony” because each piece can stand alone, but together they create beautiful harmony. 

The concept for the piece was inspired by this poem: 
“Touched by your goodness, I am like   
that grand piano we found one night on Willoughby   
that someone had smashed and somehow   
heaved through an open window.   

And you might think by this I mean I’m broken   
or abandoned, or unloved.   Truth is, I don’t   
know exactly what I am, any more   
than the wreckage in the alley knows   
it’s a piano, filling with trash and yellow leaves.   

Maybe I’m all that’s left of what I was.   
But touching me, I know, you are the good   
breeze blowing across its rusted strings.   

What would you call that feeling when the wood,   
even with its cracked harp, starts to sing?”

“Piano” - BY PATRICK PHILLIPS
