I will be hand carving 40 unique interference wave patterns onto hand planed walnut wood. These wall hangings will depict the waves I observed on the ceiling, made by sunlight reflecting off of the water in a frying pan that had been left to soak. The movement of the water connected through the vibrations of my movements in the kitchen created a torrent of mesmerizing patterns. It was like looking through a kaleidoscope, fluid and ever-changing. Such an engrossing visual with such intricate detail, so much information packed into this fleeting moment. I passed through the room like I have done countless times before and it could have just slipped away unnoticed. With this project I wish to capture the liminal beauty hidden in these transient moments that catch us off-guard.
Below you can see a still of a reflected wave pattern and a carving in the works.
