Phillip K. Smith, III
Chladni
Expressive components of music found in harmony, brightness and fluidity are celebrated in Philip Smith's wall installation honoring the discovery of "visual sound" by 18th century scientist Ernst Chladni. Layers of color form bilaterally symmetrical shapes, revealing frequencies of reverberation through sand-covered metal plates. The overlapping colors found in the celebrated neon signs of Lower Broad and letterpress posters of Hatch Show Print also added inspiration. |
