Sound of the Void
screen print, 790 x 1070mm 300gsm Hahnemühle

Sound of the void, materialises aural vibration through a 3D screen printing technique, that is combined with the resonating (live) sound that created the visual data. The work explores sound and image simultaneously, drawing connections between somatic (body) and psychic (mind) together.
Exploring and documenting the metaphysical through an artistic dialogue that intersects science and physics brings an investigative approach to an otherwise ethereal subject matter. Opposite worlds connect through disparity, and the supernatural sits alongside science; the unseen and the physical.
Just as sound and space artist, Bernhard Leitner explores the body as perceiving sound rather than just the ears, Sound of the Void, explores a similar notion. The physical body communicates through non-visual systems as vibrating fields are perceived as sound but also stand for deeper meanings with their formal symbolic and geometric structures. As Carl Jung describes, the circle is a symbol of the self. “It expresses the totality of the psyche in all it’s aspects including the relationship between man and the whole of nature”. The looping soundscape, like vibrations themselves, hold no boundaries but travel on a flux of spiraling repetition. Sound connects strongly to the visual universe yet holds it’s own sense of mass. Materialising the invisible becomes a dialogue for what we cannot see.
