  The following images are of Suites of paintings that encompass the relationships of color, shape and sound.  Each of these Suites has a mucial compoent which is introduced by creating a Quicktime Movie based on the multiple layering of three mediums on untreated cotton canvas.  The primary medium is a color fast solarized dye. I call these combined paintings with a musical composition "pictumsonus".These plus others  can be viewed on the web sites http://www.vimeo.com/user20736155.      My initial  intuition was that there is an energetic (pulsing or vibrating) symbiotic connection between color, shape and sound (light, geometry and musical notation).      An historical  example is the universal  connection between a square shape and the color red (as in stable earthiness) and  I later learned that the angstrom measurements for the color red vibrates at approximately the same frequency as the key of C in the well tempered musical scale.  Thanks to the invention of the  Cymascope© by John Reid (www.cymascope.com) which produces cymaglyphs. I am able to produce works of art that encompass the three natural phenomena.  These artistic works are documented and  can be viewed on Vimeo,  and YouTube as short movies.
