Nancy Newton’s drawings and paintings explore the many visual sound scapes suggested by the instrumentation, sound and felt emotional content of R. Murray Schafer’s musical composition entitled Dream-e-scape. Monochromatic interpretations using India ink, metallic acrylic paint and pastel on paper inspired mixed media canvases using modeling paste, gesso, acrylic and metallic paint. As the imagery on the canvases emerged the music was turned off and the sound scapes were explored and developed one by one in silence.
