An Aria is a singular voice with musical accompaniment. Influenced by music from all traditions, Cobie Russell created Aria during a time of questioning and societal uncertainty – exploring the urgency to find one’s voice in the midst of amplified background noise.

Aria as a series is a journey to find focus in the midst of discord and distraction. Each work overlays form upon form to reference dimension with the emphasis on a single form emerging from its environment. At times vibrant and at other times delicate, the colors and shapes of these Arias are images of her sense and sensibilities in these moments.
