Polyphonic Shimmering was authored, edited, and designed by the participants of a seminar led
by Meg Miller
in VCU's School of the Arts in spring, 2024. They are Jalen Adams, Rasim Bayramov, Kai Chuang, Molly
Garrett, Tariye George-Phillips, Aya Khalife, Bradley Sinanan,
Quinn Standley, Weitong Sun, Taehee, Yuan Xin, and Yangyang Zhang. All of their pieces are richly
rendered, beautifully described; their research and experience gives depth and fascinating texture.
These
pieces
shimmer and hum, they play with duration and pacing and expand language beyond its conventional
encasements.
They allow us to see what they see, in ways both visual and textual, but mostly through language
that blurs
the
distinction between the two.
