99 SOUNDS is 99 unframed drawings and recordings. When you purchase a drawing, you receive the drawing's sound (on a cd). All drawings are charcoal and graphite, centered on 10"x10" 140lb archival paper. Drawings shipped for $10 or arrangements made for pick up/delivery. Contact Curtis at amy@amystaceycurtis.com.

The first 90 drawings are interpretations of what the sounds look like. The last 9 drawings are interpretations of what the sounds make me see. Before beginning each drawing, I listened to its sound over and over again until I could visualize the sound in my mind.
