The universal source of communication is through frequency, not language.
When you remove the language and a learnt pattern of communication you
are left with a range of frequencies. Frequencies are constantly being emitted
through our brainwaves, our cellular structure, and our environment, they are
interacting and restructuring, creating constant oscillation and movement with
all living things.
Through the loss of my own voice, I began to experience Synaesthesia.
Synaesthesia is a condition in which someone experiences things through
their senses in an unusual way, for example, colour as sound, music as
colour, or numbers as a position in space. I became aware that nonverbal and
inaudible communication is taking place in the space arund us and within us.
My process is based on my experience of a sensual, embodied
communication within the physical environment through cellular and
molecular movement, vibration and sound.
In my practice, I create an experience of that transfer through audible and
inaudible information to the viewer bringing into focus the presence of oneself
has an effect on their surroundings. To create my work I use various software
and hardware applications to explore the deconstruction and transference of
sound frequencies.
My practice is informed by scientific evidence and research within the fields
of acoustic physics, nanotechnology, and sonocytology. This includes
scientific research by Dr. Paul Thomas, Hans Jenny, John Stuart Reid, Ernst
Chladni, and the work of Anne Niemetz and Andrew Pelling.
