These forms, whilst appearing three dimensional, are each in fact a single line, made as a laser traces a path across light sensitive paper. The path of the laser is governed by a mirror that is vibrated with sound - deflecting the reflection. The forms are produced by sine waves increasing in amplitude. All sounds can be expressed as combinations of sine waves. From this perspective, when we make a noise, speak a word, or articulate a thought - we are rapidly producing selections of these forms. Imprinted onto air, they travel, unseen, waiting to be decoded and understood.
