UBA TUBA IS BASED ON A COLORFUL INTERPRE- TATION OF THE SOUND OF A PAIR OF TUBAS. US- ING SPIRALS AND SHAPES THE ARTIST SENDS PATTERNS OF COLOR INTO SPACE REFLECT- ING AROUND THE BORDERS OF THE CANVAS. BRIGHT COLORFUL BLOCKS DEFINE THE TUBAS. A THIRD TUBA IS PLACED BEHIND THE OTHER TWO ON ITS SIDE AND IS FILLED WITH THE DEEP BLUE COLORS OF BASS NOTES. THE WORD TUBA IS SPELLED OUT ON THE BOT- TOM RIGHT SIDE IN LIGHT GREEN TO ACT AS A COUNTER POINT BETWEEN THE DARK AND BRIGHT COLORS. THE SOUND COMING FROM THE TUBAS IS DEPICTED AS SHAPES. SOME OF THEM HAVE MORPHED INTO FLOWERS. A LONESOME EAR AND AN UPSIDE-DOWN HEAD COMPLETE THE COMPOSITION.THE RESULT IS A MASTERFUL USE OF COLOR AND AN EXCITING COMPOSITION.
