Abstract
Piano: is a series of actions, performances and sculptures that utilize pianos as the primary objects through which I explore concepts of tension, transformation and release. It is a trifold process of unmaking, playing and remaking. Pianos are rich in symbolic meaning. This work is inspired by my desire to challenge my traditional training in this instrument and to express some of my experience of recovery from profound encounters with violent trauma. In these pages, I illustrate the origins of my ideas and my creative process. In three chapters, I describe materials, movements and memories using mutable language that reflects the unpredictable nature of my healing.
