Quiet Refrains, 1982

Quiet Refrains, 1970 captures the moment when familiar music drifts into the background — still present, still meaningful, but no longer asking to be followed closely.

Cooler tones and softened contrasts move gently across the surface, echoing refrains that linger after the chorus has passed. The piece feels settled, reflective, and unhurried.

Designed to bring calm rather than energy, this work invites pause without heaviness. It completes the opening movement of the Listening Colors series — artwork inspired by how music lives with us, not just how it sounds.

Printed on matte, stretched canvas, Quiet Refrains, 1970 is created for rooms that are already full — of light, memory, and familiarity.
