In the summer of 1994 I was asked by David Mossman, the manager of the Vortex Jazz Club, London, to create a set of work to be on permanent display on the walls of the club. I had a well-established fondness for Thelonious Monk's music so I chose to use him as my inspiration. Over the next year I spent as many months drawing from the music as I did creating the final pieces. I found that his forms translated well into abstract visual form and that the solidity of his musical structure translated successfully into wooden collage. In the end I tried to instill a kind of 'Theloniousness' into the pieces, using warm and subtle colours, combined with strong, simple shapes.
I hope to have created a fitting tribute to the man they call the 'Genius of Modern Music'. Melanie Day
