DESCRIPTION

The work is a representation of the Big Theme (•) in the form of the sounds of a small world of objects. The Big Theme was related to the idea that each object has its own unique sound. Every object is a very complex structure in the microcosm of objects. All objects have their own sounds, as in the music of the spheres resounding in the Universe. And if we follow Pythagoras, but in a slightly different direction, to be able to understand the elusive symphony in something so small as an object, we can assume the existence of life in space-time, the conversation of rustles - the music of the small world of objects.
(•) The term is used by J. James in connection with the Pythagorean music of the spheres.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

ETCHING
Etching is an intaglio printmaking process. To make an impression, a copper or zinc plate coated with an acid-resistant varnish is required. A drawing is made on this plate using a steel needle. The plate is then immersed in a 10% solution of nitric acid, which etches out the material in the areas exposed by the needle. The impression resembles a pen drawing.

SOFT VARNISH
Etching technique. On a metal plate covered with a layer of soft varnish and adhering to it with coarse-grained paper, a drawing is made with a pencil or chalk. Then, tearing the paper from the plate, it is removed along with the varnish, glued to the paper, in those places where the drawing was made. The plate is etched with acid and printed.
