In this new experimental work, I’m using soundwaves and lightwaves to make images of resonance without using a camera.

Using a chladni plate - which is a rigid plate supported by a post in its center - I sprinkle some sand onto the surface and vibrate it at certain frequencies. Exotic and beautiful patterns appear as the sound pushes through the sand medium. The higher the frequency, the more elaborate the pattern. I then contact print the pattern using the cyanotype printing method.

For making prints of my patterns, I wanted to use Cyanotype, because of its connection with early technical blueprint drawings, and the experimental biological specimen work of Anna Atkins. Cyanotypes are also most sensitive to UV light - which is a waveform that can't be seen with the human eye but can be felt and experienced, Sound can’t be seen but experienced. These are an experiment that connects between what can’t be seen but can be felt.
