EP 11 Elizabeth Mikellides : Conceptual Art as a Visual Score, 'Drawing Music'.

Welcome to Art Seeker Stories, a podcast about Art and creativity. I’m your host, Emma Hill and this is my voyage of discovery. 

Today I invite Elizabeth Mikellides, a conceptual artist working with both music and art with the goal to discover and illuminate the constructs of music through the visual form of Drawing. 

By learning piano pieces by Bach, Mozart and Chopin, this created a love of structure, order and layering which Elizabeth represents in her visual practice of Drawing. 

 Elizabeth’s Artist residency on art seeker Island takes us on her artist journey as she creates her own vision of hope. She looks for parallels between both music and art and incorporates those findings in her artwork. Her work can therefore be interpreted as a visual score but also visual music. Indeed, she calls her practice 'Drawing Music'.

We take an incredible journey within  Elizabeth's Art Seeker Island  of Hope,  there, all senses are stimulated with a vibrant dance of colour and sounds that feed the soul. All created and born from the island itself. 

 The 3 artist  artworks Elizabeth takes with her for company on Art seeker Island are;

1. By a woman: Lydia Okumura, Untitled I, Installation

2. Of cultural significance:  Concerto in D minor BWV 974 after A. Marcello's Concerto for Oboe and Strings, arranged by Bach, around 1715
