Vault ... of Heaven

Michael SMETANIN
Born 1958, Sydney, Australia

Vault . . . of Heaven (1986): flute/piccolo/alto flute, clarinet/bass clarinet, guitar, percussion, violin, contrabass

Vault takes its name from a photographic work by the American photographer, Martin SCHREIBER. The photograph which is included in his Bodyscapes collection entitled The Vault of Heaven captured my imagination completely.

Bodyscapes uses the female form in varying degrees of subtlety to create a high state of an erotic art form. Vault attempts to emulate the elegance projected by this photographic piece.
