Blues in Eb Major was created from materials collected while assisting in the archiving of Keith Long's sculptural works. Composed of reclaimed mahogany, piano hammer boards, and hardware salvaged from that process, the piece emerged from an ongoing engagement with objects already marked by labor, history, and artistic intent. Unlike the layered and concept-intensive methods that typically define my practice, this work developed through a more intuitive process, guided by an attraction to the relationships between color, composition, and material. The rich tones of the mahogany, traces of previous use, and formal qualities of the salvaged components became the primary framework through which the sculpture took shape. Rather than imposing a predetermined narrative, I allowed the materials to direct the work's evolution, responding to their histories and inherent visual language. The resulting sculpture exists as both a continuation and transformation of its source materials, reflecting on inheritance, influence, and the ways meaning can be carried forward through acts of reuse and reconstruction.
