Artist Pamela Paulsrud talks about how she used cymatics in her papermaking process in this video that shows some of the processes she used to transfer the images she created with cymatics frequencies from plate to paper.
Of her experience incorporating cymatics and papermaking she says, “When I began papermaking years ago it was for the purpose of examining and exploring the creative process from inception to completion. From the formation of sheets, to working with fibers in its various degrees, I was led to create spontaneous marks within the pulp. The medium became an art unto itself and now offers a multidisciplinary approach in my exploration of capturing sound/resonance in paper with cymatics—sound wave phenomena.”
