Artist Statement
In this mono-print I’ve fused the old and the new. This idea of blending the old and the new is to depict the significant amount of progress in the music world.   
The imagery used to evoke this conceptual idea is a simplistic composition of a modern DJ standing behind and handling an old record player. It’s slightly amusing to think a modern DJ could use such outdated equipment. The connection between the old and new and the growth of music is subtly introduced by the subjects.

Music has inspired me and through the age ages it has inspired many. Music has a heartbeat that will never seize just like the progression of music will never seize. Music is the commentary of society and society never stops evolving. Therefore Music will never stop evolving.
