1976–1977
This tapestry visualizes a violin over taken by the vibrations of its own sonata. The designer, Leonardo Nierman, sensously orchestrated colors and forms to illuminate the visual and aural power of music. As a young man, Nierman aspired to be a professional violinist, but when he realized that he could not achieve the level of virtuosity he sought, he refocused his efforts on a different artistic practice.
