About this artwork

To create this work, I built an audio/visual synthesizer using an assembly of synth modules for the auditory component and then custom built visualization synths to convert the audio signal to a visual format.

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 sound. In the detail images, you will notice many colors throughout the composition. I used a weaving for the final artwork because the surface textures most closely resemble the analog sound's image. This work is one in a large series.

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.
