SOUND PAINTING

Title: Portal Oscillations
Medium: Vibration (from acoustic signal waves created by gravitational waves from a binary black hole recorded in space), acrylic paint and colored pencils on panel.
Dimensions: 60”H x 40”W
Year: 2021

Acoustic signal waves are applied to the paint panel surface and hand-formed bronze pieces are dipped in paint and placed on the panel. The acoustic vibrations carry them across and what emerges are visible patterns created by resonance. Once dry, these paint patterns serve as visual guides to hand paint connections to reveal larger formations of sound made visible.
