Weaving Notes
Location: Bremerton, WA Client: City of Bremerton Collaborator: Michael Stutz (sculptor) It’s well known that Quincy Jones is one of the most innovative composers and arrangers who incorporates many styles of music, echniques, and creative ideas in his compositions, arrangements, and flm scores. Throughout his career, he has wholeheartedly embraced ideas about globalization and cultural diversity in his musical work, collaborations, and humanitarian projects. The proposed artwork is inspired by this philosophy of inclusivity, particularly Quincy’s amazing ability to bring people of differing backgrounds, musical genres, and generations together. In the spirit of Quincy Jones, the artwork’s concept is about “weaving”, which serves as a metaphor for bringing community members together in a celebration of shared humanity and the man himself. Quincy's likeness will be sculpted by Michael Stutz, with project scheduled to be completed in 2025. |
