Scroll over or click to zoom This work is an image of Japan's Mt. Fuji embedded with digital noise from the sound of the area. I use an audio visual synthesizer to process sound captured at the mountain to produce an image of the sound specific to the space. That sound image was then used to distort the original photograph.I then had the image woven with museum-quality dyed thread on an industrial loom. It is stretched over heavy duty stretcher bars and comes ready to hang. The tapestry is an image of a place and its sound. In the detail images, you will notice hints of color throughout this monochrome composition.The work is framed with a matte black wood canvas floater frame. It is 2'' deep with a 3/8'' face and 5/16'' of space between the art surface and the frame face. - Jack R. Mesa Mt. Fuji Sonification (Soft Synesthesia) JACK R.

Mesa Oakland, California Follow this Artist Unfollow this Artist Getting to Know Jack R. Jack R Mesa depicts his subjects in a visual medium blended with a layer of sound to explore his personal experience of synesthesia. Synesthesia is the phenomenon where the brain interprets one sense as another - experiencing sound as colors, for example. His earlier series of paintings uses color blocks and abstract shapes to depict sounds, as seen in his series '100 Sounds' (see Sold works). His newer series explores a new medium, using tapestry to literally weave together sounds and colors into his large format works, for example his series 'Soft Synesthesia.' In addition to capturing a photo of his subject, he also records the sounds of a place and overlays the two into a final image in his Oakland studio. He joins other artists, including Carol Steen, David Hockney, and Kandinsky who reportedly see sounds. This is the closest that a non-synesthete may come to viewing the world through Jack's eyes. Mesa has recently exhibited at Berkeley Art Museum (Berkeley, CA), Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (San Francisco, CA), and Material Art Fair (Mexico City, MX).
