Dispersing Birds
The theme of my exhibit for 50/50 is "Scenes and Dreams around the San Francisco Bay Area," so work inspired by local performers is perfect for this collection of sculptures. The assignment is to make one artwork a day, sized 6" x 6", for fifty days. (I am 28 days in.)
Boxes inspired by these performances that I have completed so far:
"Dispersing Birds": From the Sunday, February 15, 2015, performance at Mare Island by Voicehandler. (box photo above)
Concert Drawing: February 15, 2015, Voicehandler
Flutist
Not in the abstract or even necessarily local vein: "Concert" was inspired by a visit to the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival in Golden Gate Park a couple of blocks from my house.

Boxes I'm working on:
"Coastal Dream": From the Sunday, February 15, 2015, performance at Mare Island by Gretchen Jude.
Concert Drawing: February 15, 2015, Gretchen Jude
"Performance": From a performance at the Art Institute Graduate exhibit at The Old Mint a couple of years ago. I did not make a note of the performer's name.
"Secret Duck Receiver": From an October 2014 performance by San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra, one of Mark Alburger's UFO compositions.
Concert Drawing: October 4, 2014, Mark Alburger
I post frequent progress photos (there are lots more boxes on the way) at:
instagram (@jzjade) and facebook.

P.S.:
I was really inspired by the dreamy performances at ATA Saturday night "Nearfields" with film and sound by:
John Davis / Paul Clipson
