The Frequencies series investigates the passage of sound, light, and signal through the landscape. These works are material traces from my experience listening and attending to the world around us.

The works shown here, with sound, are informed by landscapes that are subject to fire, freezing, drought, or flooding, and showing the effects of a changing climate.

The paintings are graphite and acrylic on panel. I sampled the field recordings from the Arctic to the Amazon and interpreted the sounds visually - A phenomenology of place.
