Jazz Band City Works on Paper
In her NYC debut exhibition, D.S. Wade explores the sounds of jazz heard throughout the city in her classic whimsical style. Each hand pressed limited edition print is infused with emotion. The personalities of the musicians while playing their instruments have been abstracted through the use of formal elements such as color and line. Wade places weight on every mark she carves into the wood as a way to produce movement, emphasizing and mimicking the rhythmic complexities of Jazz. The images produced become larger than life and take on a personality of their own. They speak boldly of the current music scene and become a reflection of her lifelong passion and love for music.
