The Shape

of Sounds:

An analysis of synesthetic experience with visual and sonic art;  searching out sounds in the environment and in music which hold within them strong colour, shape and movement. These are captured creating sound recordings. The recordings are edited into musical soundscapes while drawings document the colour, movement and shape of sounds. Once a sound composition and its corresponding drawings are completed, mixed media paintings are developed on paper registering the texture and movement of the shapes of overall sound compositions. Finally a large scale series of paintings are being developed together to capture the overall spatial/colour/kinaesthetic environment of the sounds. You can hear and see some of the work being developed in the slide show above, and still image on this page.
