Ranges

These paintings are visual representations of frequencies used by radio stations in the U.S.. The concentric circles represent Fort Worth and the surrounding cities. As we move north, south, east and west to different cities, the frequency is being used by different radio stations with different types of programing or by no one at all.

I imagine these pieces as a travelling exhibit. As they travel, the radios, still set to the same frequencies, will create a new sound based on the format of the frequencies in that area. In cases where the frequencies are not being used by any radio stations you will hear only static.

MegaHertz

These paintings are color representations of frequency allocations of the United States radio spectrum.

Telemetry

I paint with radio waves by using remote-controlled cars to make action paintings. The paintings serve as telemeters; using paint to track where the car has been.
