Collective Motion, Fluid Intelligence
A school of fish and a symphony orchestra operate on the same principle — every individual attuned to the whole, the collective achieving what no single part could alone. The deeper the understanding, the more extraordinary the improvisation.
At Monterey Bay Aquarium, that intelligence is on constant display. Thousands of individuals moving as one, shifting direction without signal, density and color reorganizing themselves moment to moment with an intuition that feels less like reflex and more like conversation. I could watch for hours. The motion never repeats, and the formation never breaks — every shift absorbed instantly, completely, by the whole.
Running Scales follows that synchronicity to its most fluid expression — nine works, each a different reading of the same current. Miles Davis Quartet takes that intelligence into the territory of jazz, where the rules are so deeply known they become the launching point for improvisation. Weird Fishes | Arpeggi follows the impulse wherever it leads.
Each work exists in a strictly limited edition. Once closed, it does not reopen.

Running Scales
The Series
Color and current, in sync.
Proximity like this is rare — close enough to witness a collective in motion, a wave of color and current that countless individual fish create without any of them leading. Running Scales is my interpretation of that wave — nine readings of the same motion, each distinguished by its own palette and its own fluidity: silver dissolving into blue, gold threading through a darker current, color and form shifting together as the school turns. Nine works, one intelligence, endlessly variable.

All Blues. Blue in Green. In a Sentimental Mood. I Put a Spell on You. Four jazz standards, four readings of the same collective motion — but here the synchronicity becomes the foundation for departure. Technique and a blue-toned palette transform the wave into something closer to improvisation: the rules so deeply understood they dissolve into feeling. Miles Davis Quartet is that dissolution — color and current reimagined as music.

Weird Fishes. Arpeggi. Two works named for the Radiohead song that drifts away from its own structure — sinking, untethered, alone in the current. If Running Scales is the wave at its most synchronized and Miles Davis Quartet is the wave reimagined through jazz, Weird Fishes | Arpeggi is the furthest departure: color and form breaking from the collective entirely, alternative, free.
