Diminuendo
Assemblage of found objects, 2020
46 x 35 x 12 cm
by Dale Copeland, 77
 | Diminuendo Going down. A violin with no more music in it. A bell waiting to be rung. And, a nice touch, if you listen hard you'll hear a clock ticking. (A small clock fixed inside the body of the violin, with a battery accessible from the back. It can't tell you a time, but it tells of time passing. I was told I had a 'significant loss' in my hearing. Not enough for hearing aids, but enough to bring on a fit of the moody blues, and an assemblage. With acknowledgement comes acceptance, even pleasure. Happy that reading glasses exist, and that I have enough treasures in my studio to give expressions for the feelings and thoughts and fears.. I am fortunate. 77 and still going strong. In early December 2020 I graded to 6th Dan Black Belt in Taekwon-Do. My proudest, & hardest, achievement. |
