"13800
Hz" consists of sonic sculptures built from ceramic and steel. It create amalgamations of
both, new posthuman possibilities of form and body. Influenced by the sounds of
metal, industry, and technology "13800 Hz" considers
sound not only as something that contributes to our phenomenological lived
experience but also as a physical presence, an echo or ghost of its origin,
piercing and combining with surrounding bodies.
The project is directly linked to my experience with tinnitus, the title originating from the tone I hear in my ear. Considering the interaction of tone from a phenomenological standpoint, the installation investigates how a metallic tinnitus like tone winds and intertwines with the sounds and environment around it by producing resonance from vibrating metal. The piece questions how this affects perception and traditional concepts of silence.
I continue to experiment with the form of the pieces, working to echo natural forms and patterns through clay, glaze, and natural material, and metallic tone, sound, and presence through steelwork.
