Unless you have never listened to music on a computer, you've fallen victim to the hypnotizing sound wave screensaver. Some genius programmer thought to use the soothing images of compression and rarefaction to prevent image burn-in — and to totally blow our minds. Artist Claire Colette was inspired by this idea of sound waves and brings her interpretation in a solo show, "small moves in strange rooms" at Eleanor Harwood Gallery. In the exhibition, Colette showcases a series of drawings, done in elegant graphite on paper, that use sets of repetitive lines reminiscent of how we picture sound. These shapes illustrate movement in a specific site. A medium-sized piece, "daylight for a blind composer," depicts sound clearing to create a section of light across the center. This work, like the others in the show, develops a loose narrative on how the sounds of our surroundings translate to image.
