Stuart Davidson of the University of Wales included an exhibition of cymatics images he created and photographed in his studies at the school recently.
He sends these photos along from his final project, and this is what he has to say about making the cymatics images:
“The project was mainly about discovering how to create my own cymatic set-up and then choosing an effective way to capture the patterns that came from it. From extensive research and being more observant during day to day life, this project is being to lead me to believe that light is just an exstention from sound. Therefore we are really looking at sound, and potentially all we see is an immense/dense amount of cymatics. The framerate of humans and the amount of sound we are able to hear and interpret restricts us from being able to notice the make-up of the world around us.” – Stuart Davidson
Please enjoy these cymatics images, and remember they are the proprietary work of an artist, so please don’t “steal” them. If you would like to request permission to use one on your site you may contact the artist.
P.S. If you are currently working on or have finished a cymatics project as part of your University studies, we would love to hear about it here at the Journal! Leave a comment below if you would like to see your project (or work in progress) showcased here too…

Congratulations to Stuart Davidson for his achievements! Great images! May they serve as an inspiration for other students to explore the field of Cymatics.
Cymatics- on its way to becoming a household word!

This was one installation of five in my senior art exhibit that emphasized choice and the infinite. The Cymatics piece was title Act, as it reminds us that our choices take shape through our energy and movement.
Two hemispheres were constructed of recycled propane tank ends 3′ in diameter, rested under a tree and were activated as a passerby might swing a hanging wooden clapper into the bowls to create a gong effect and activate a beautiful unique visual of the sound of the form that it present.
Check out the 5Diminsion Infinity Project to get a better idea of the context which this piece plays. It is a physical model of Active-Contemplation…
BTW you might also enjoy ‘Listen’. Hear the sounds at the bottom of its page. In approaching the giant windchimes one could feel the sound before they could hearing it.
I hope you enjoy the work.

Thanks Stuart beautiful images. I wonder if you would be interested in talking. I am working in a meditative way with sound and what you said about sound and light is what I have discovered through personal research. I am opening a centre/ gallery for sound and silence and am seeking art images for the walls. I live in Wales ( Cardigan) Could we be in contact.
