I decided to try out my own form of cymatics ‘sound visualisation’ for my Final exhibition of my University degree in Photography.

After several months of researching cymatics and producing hundreds of test shots, I found my own way of capturing this phenomena and created a 16 image series that was featured in the degree exhibition

Below are some of the images which I selected to form my collection.

Post production was  minimal (cropping, aligning and increased black to the bottom of the images) as my technical research and photographic experiments allowed me the best way to optimise the parameters of the shots.

I have also included a picture of myself at the degree show next to my work to show how I took the images out of chronological sequence to produce a conceptual post modernistic context.

For the exhibition I also had to devise a statement that provided context to my work and represented me as an artist.

Below is the statement I wrote:

Structured Entropy Arrested Vibration

The foundations of the universe can be defined by energy, mass and entropy, with vibration being the vessel that interlinks them all. Entropy is the measurement of disorder and this factor can help in the understanding of the irregularities and inconsistencies that occur in all aspects of our existence.

The primal instincts of Human nature are to progress and bring order to chaos. ‘Structured Entropy – Arrested Vibration’, is a photographic series that is been constructed to document the hidden formations that occur in reaction to the natural process of vibration. Using a speaker to provide vibration, Harrison has placed a mixture of consumer grade anti -aging cream onto the speaker and photographed the event, in a manner that suspends the moment of implosion.

The images have been taken out of a chronological sequence and arranged in a uniformed manner. 16 images have been chosen to be displayed in a 4×4 grid which  conforms to uniformity and aesthetically providing a sense of unity in variety. Particular consideration has also been given to the framing which provides separation.

Following the principles of Conceptual art and Post-modernist theory, Harrison endeavours to examine and question- temporality, absence, the human condition and our connections to the natural world, revealing the perpetuated tensions between order and complexity.
