A ring developed from Frédéric Chopin’s Nocturne in C-sharp minor, translating musical lines into a small sculptural object.
Nocturne Ring continues the exploration of music as form. The musical lines of Chopin’s Nocturne in C-sharp minor are brought into a circular composition, giving a passage of music a physical presence.
Chopin’s Nocturne becomes a layered circular form. Its changing profile and open centre let the object be read from more than one direction, while light makes the intervals between its strands visible. Two original photographs show these complementary views of the made ring.
