Tighe O'Donoghue
Metalogicon, Aquatint Etching by Tighe O'Donoghue

circa 1985

About the Item

Tighe O'Donoghue's split-composition work features a spherical rendering of a planet in the night sky above a diagram of a keyed instrument, possibly a harpsichord, accompanied by angled dotted lines that emulate a diagram or mathematical equation. The relationship between music, astronomy, and mathematics is often referenced in the work of the artist, whose delicate renderings offer the viewer a glimpse into the creative and analytical mind.
