"Surge"
ABOUT THE PIECE
Surge, created for the NACHMO January challenge, originally came from the inspiration of the new year, the feelings around momentum and pushing in one direction. A group of humans all striving for achievement, either for a collective goal or individual ones. The resulting energy is impactful, but in various ways. What are the implications of such energies?
For Libby, that initial inspiration brought images of constant movement in a certain and defined direction. The spatial mapping of Surge places the artists on a diagonal path that is revisited throughout the piece with varying intentions.
The piece premiered at NACHMO Boston on March 3rd, 2023. Dmitry Evgrafov's score from the album "Collage" guides the movement through a diverse range of qualities and interactions.
