“Harmonic Spheres is a video that was done in collaboration with Blanche Bruce [Terry Adkins’ alter ego doppelganger] that depicts the back of a person’s head shrouded in fog. In the video, the camera slowly pans across the head to the accompaniment of an original musical score. The video plays on a monitor that hangs from the ceiling, and was inspired by the Pythagorean theorem Harmony of the Spheres that describes the inaudible sound celestial bodies make as they move throughout the universe.” -Demetrius Oliver Demetrius Oliver received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, his MFA from the University of Pennsylvania, and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.
