Synthoscope, 2006
Synthoscope is one of a series of projects I produced in art school that explored methods for the visualisation of sound. Water acts as a medium for synthesising the wave properties of both sound and light energy. Sound manifests as mechanical waves on the surface of water while these same undulations refract light waves as they pass through the transparent liquid. The textures and movements of sound energy are superimposed onto the trajectories of light resulting in a synchronous visual image.

UWS art school has a unique legacy for arts education in Sydney. The creative practices that emerged from the cross-pollination between staff and students in the cohorts of the Bachelor of Visual arts, Bachelor of Electronic Arts, and the Music department produced a generation of experimental music and sound art practitioners, still prominent in the Australian arts landscape today. My own experience of this fertile environment saw an evolution in my work from making quite traditional modernist sculptural forms to an experimental, sound-based, ‘live’ form of installation practice.
