This work on Arches paper is inspired by Ron Carter’s track “Quiet Times.”
The piece uses only three colors: anthracite gray, off-white, and a vibrant sunny yellow. This mirrors the structure of the Third Plane trio: Ron Carter on double bass, Herbie Hancock on piano, and Tony Williams on drums. Three voices, nothing more. No frills.
The Penguin Guide to Jazz hails the album as “Carter’s most impressive performance under his own name.” This tension between formal rigor and spontaneous energy is what I seek: the geometry holds, but the painter’s hand remains present.
My work is dated 2026, with my signature—like a record signed before it’s pressed. A work that knows it is an object, that embraces its physical existence in the world, just as the Milestone Records vinyl did in 1977.
