Tsabar’s Transition canvases resemble large-scale paintings or drawings from afar. Cables, buttons, connectors and parts from amplifiers and speakers form geometric compositions on amplifier fabric. The amplifiers used in the works have been disassembled and reassembled with the exact same components. Each amplifier retains its functional order while exposing the very wires that make it work. The Transition works create an experiential installation which the artist describes as “sculptural paintings that have the ability to output sound.”
