Music plays a vital role in our lives—we use it to learn, celebrate, grieve, meditate and move our bodies in a way that we cannot control. It stirs up memories from the past, moves us to tears, makes us want to jump for joy and connects us to a greater consciousness.
In “Do You See What I Hear - Memories of the Heart” Valerie Savarie, Miki Harder, and Penney Bidwell explore creating artwork based on twelve songs – each artist selecting four that have ties to their individual childhood. How do these artists interpret the songs similarly, and how do they differ? Explore the culmination of early memories from decades ago paired with seven months of experiences and pondering translated into clay, paper, and canvas.
