Abstract Details

2012, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Art.
Sound is universal, abstract, and omnipresent. I am interested in coaxing out the nuances in sound as it transmutes from transmission to reception, through culture and form. This interest in sonic relationships and history came from a life of music that precedes and frames my evolution into sonic, video, and installation works. I have translated my musical knowledge into a body of work that examines the relationships between the unseen sonic world and the physical, visual and activated art world. This document chronicles my work over the past two years experimenting with creating new instruments and algorithmic experiences for humans and summarizes the motivations for taking sound as a material and phenomenon and transforming these sonic waves through other mediums and materials. This research culminates in a hybrid of installation sculpture, performance, and software all rooted in sonic relationships and phenomena. I do not consider myself a sound artist, but rather an artist driven by sound.
