Ronnie Elliott’s piece pays tribute to the American jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker. While creating the work, Elliott would have played Parker’s music and used the sounds of his saxophone to dictate her strokes. Her use of monochromatic black in this work is representative of her attempt to translate audio content into a visual medium, treating the surface of this work as a musical staff. The contours of the lines bring forth the image of a staff and the circles are reminiscent of the notes on the page. This is further exemplified as some of the lines call into mind the shapes of treble and bass clefs.
