This work was a site specific interactive installation at Olho de Boi studio and gallery in Lisbon, the result of a 2 month research residency 2019. 



Pools of liquid colour were allowed to have the sound of ocean waves pass through them, the vibrations rearrange the textures and colours and become a visual record of the noise of the ocean.



Videos of this transformation were then projected onto a pool of white liquid, surrounded by a soundscape of breath, naturally imitating the rhythm of ocean waves. The viewer is invited to throw a pebble into the pool, contorting the image and amplification via a hydrophone ensures the viewer adds their own unique moment of sonancy to the soundscape.



As the pattern shifts and warps under the influence of the sea new imitations of nature appear, the pattern seems to evolve into tree rings then as the complexity deepens further in to contour lines mapping new imaginary mountains and peaks. 




The sea is one of the most powerful natural sources responsible for the shape of our environment. Relentless waves indiscriminately carve and polish smooth everything they encounter slowly sculpting them into ever evolving works of art.
