Sound Events continue to explore what sound might look like if the moving sound wave is pictured as an arrow. These drawings inquire about sound from an expressive, poetic perspective, as opposed to a technical or scientific one. I ask a basic question: if I could carry away the shape of a sound in my mind, what would it look like? Here the sound is no longer a moment but a duration. Both duration and space are indicated through a pencilled graph.
