Nano Night Music

Rhythmic geometries of color and shape underpin strange abstracted devices that appear to assemble themselves from the painted textures. Odd abstracted electromechanical details provide a counterpoint. The patterns and shapes used are reminiscent of designs I’ve seen for nanomechanical devices, nanofluidics, and nanopatterned molecules. That and a little “night music”.

The pun (and some inspiration): Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusic". The musical piece has a lot of bright, choppy rhythmic motifs instead of long and fluid melodic lines. The highly rhythmic stacatto structure of the musical piece is reflected in the painting. The musical title translates to “a little night music”. This being the 21st Century, “a little” goes nanoscale.
