March – September 2024
SILAS NG: Music in My Eyes
Vancouver-based artist Silas Ng has been fascinated with classical music since childhood. He explores movement, vibration and the visual experience of music through his series Music in My Eyes (2020–). Working from his experience as a Deaf artist, Ng photographs performances of quick, energetic gestures and the long draw of the bow across the strings to demonstrate how “volume can be shown through action.”
