PLAY ME, I’M YOURS 2012

In Summer 2012 I was asked to be among 40 artists to participate in a project called Play Me, I’m Yours, to transform a piano into an art piece,  Each piano was created to represent a Pan American country in anticipation of the 2015 games.  The following pianos represent Guyana and Suriname.  They were displayed and played at Mel Lastman Square and Sick Kids Hospital.

GUYANA

Images gel transfered to the surface of the piano refer to the streets, people, food and landscape of Guyana.  The map of the country is repeated on the area behind the pedals and a painting of the flower Bird of Paradise is located on the left side.

SURINAME

Gel transfers and paintings of the Suriname’s national flower Faja Lobi, meaning Fire Love, cover this piano.
