Sound Formations: Artist, Musician, Instrument Maker

April 5–July 13, 2025

The Claremont Lewis Museum of Art presented Sound Formations: Artist, Musician, Instrument Maker, a group exhibition celebrating handcrafted musical instruments that can also be experienced as works of art.

On this page are my featured cajóns from the exhibition—many created in collaboration with fellow artists and makers. As both builder and curator, it is especially meaningful for me to share these instruments in dialogue with the work of such talented artists and musicians.

For more details about the exhibition, contributing artists, and the Claremont Lewis Museum of Art, see CLMOA.org.

The exhibition catalog, featuring essays, images, and artist bios, can be purchased at the museum, ordered online, or viewed and downloaded for free.
