The Shape of Music brings together four bodies of work by David Sequeira in diverse media, including a major new commission for Bundanon. Sequeira’s creative practice reflects a longstanding interest in colour, geometry, and sound. Ideas of presence, endlessness and contemplation inform his delicate paintings on music manuscript sheets – their overlain geometric forms creating chords of intense colour.

Sequeira’s new commission, Form from the Formless (Under Bundanon Stars) 2025, presents as an installation of music stands, each bearing manuscript sheets with hand-painted imagery of the glittering Bundanon night sky and his signature geometric forms, accompanied by a soundscape.
