Collision Etudes

Description

Collision Etudes (2017) was inspired by and composed as a response to Gilles Silvestrini's wonderful etude collection: Six Etudes Pour Hautbois. Where Silvestrini's collection is based on six French Impressionistic paintings, Collision Etudes is based on six paintings by female American painters. American is a melting pot, a beautiful "collision" of cultures and beliefs.

Collision Etudes highlights a collision of contemporary art styles, while brining awareness to several significant female American artists.

• Jimson Weed- Georgia O'Keeffe
