Sonic Rhythms

Each piece in this series is made up of two components, a subsurface sound recording and a painting. The paintings were made while listening to the subsurface and underwater sounds associated with them. The patterns of the recorded sounds in these subterranean locations were particularly influential in creating the structure of the paintings.
