Patch Chords is a graphite drawing on paper, created in 2025. Measuring 8.5" x 5.5", this unframed piece includes a certificate of authenticity from the artist’s studio.
The compact format invites an intimate look at a tangle of patch cables—objects normally relegated to the background of audio setups, now brought forward in delicate graphite detail. Each cord coils with purpose, intersecting in a rhythm of loops and lines that echo both chaos and control, much like the creative energy they channel in real life.
There’s a meditative quality to the rendering—soft shadows and crisp contours give these utilitarian tools a sculptural presence. The artist’s hand is steady and intentional, finding elegance in the overlooked corners of music and technology.
For lovers of analog audio, modular synths, or anyone tuned in to the tactile poetry of studio life, Patch Chords resonates. It's a quiet tribute to the gear behind the grooves—a small, striking piece that celebrates the raw materials of sound.
