Study of the representation of water sounds through movement
Wave 2019, pencil on paper, 100 x 70 cm
What sounds do raindrops make when they hit different surfaces and materials? They splash, trickle, burst, melt and, depending on their intensity, create different graphic shapes and sounds. I research audible movements and develop visualization of sounds. I referred to the various audible movements of water, such as flowing, undulating, roaring, trickling, bubbling, boiling, pouring and splashing. "I pick up sounds with my eyes and ears." At some point I discovered the element of water for myself. Wells, the sea and rivers like Trave, Spree and Elbe. There are always different sounds. In a certain place, the movement, for example of the river, creates a certain sound. The question then arises, how can I visualize the sounds of water. Also in the form of experimental work.
