Myra Burg

Artist's Statement

Wanting a change from practicing architecture, and realizing my Didgeridoo at home was more an art piece than musical instrument, I wrapped a companion piece, and named it "The Quiet Oboe." I fell in love with the warmth of wrapped fiber on the cylindrical form. Each tube is coated with adhesive, and individually wrapped, top to bottom, with sumptuous fiber of varying sheen and texture.

The delicious warmth of the fiber, either in combination with the cool metals, or the warm color infused with flecks and dashes of cool color sings and harmonizes with the other art and furnishings of any room.

Quiet Oboes are available up to about 7 feet in length and in 4 diameters:
Soprano (2" diameter)
Tenor (2'-1/2" dia.)
Baritone (3-1/2" diameter)
Bassoon (5" diameter)
