Candace Knapp: "Crescendo" -sculpture "Crescendo"

"Crescendo" is a musical term for an increasing dynamic level in a line of music and it is indicated on the sheet music as an instruction to the musician. It is just that point when the music swells and becomes louder and more dramatic. It implies a heightening tension symbolized in this sculpture by the tightly arched forms and the upward flowing curves culminating in a point and a full rounded space. This symbolizes an increased concentration and a free out-pouring of sound.
