Patricia Williams: Transformations and Importations explores how creative ideas travel across music, history, and artistic forms. Williams traces connections from an approximately 1600 secular love song through Bach’s 1656 Christian Passion hymn, Tom Glazer’s 1947 protest song, and Paul Simon’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” from 1970 and “American Tune” from 1973.

Williams transforms these musical sources into visual art. Some paintings interpret musical notation through shape and color, while others convey the music’s emotional and intellectual content.
