Unit 3 prep - Abstracts

Abstract I, acrylic on board, 2011

Abstract II, acrylic on board, 2011

Abstract III, oil on board, 2011

A series of paintings which appear in my Unit 3 final, What If Everything Isn't as You Perceive It? ...And Other Existential Questions.

Intended to be seen within the context of the piece as ethereal landscapes representing ones general perception of the surround world.

Inspired by abstracts by Gerhard Richter.

Spectrograph's are a tool for creating visual renders of sound waves: spectrogram's. In order for images to appear in the waveforms, those images first had to be translated into sound waves, which is achievable on such software as Coagula, which I used. Coagula also allows you to draw directly into it, and your drawing can become sound!

So here are some images you can listen to! Spot the pictures you've already seen -- or have yet to see -- on this blog. Brownie points if you do.

I used this media in my Unit 3 final, What If Everything Isn't As You Perceive It? ...And Other Existential Questions.
