Tanya employed the architecture of Nicholas Hawksmoor as an instrument to explore the relationship between sound and form. Sound is the vibration of molecules within any medium. It is a creative force that holds the physical reality in form. To explore this, she recorded the resonant frequencies of four Hawksmoor churches.

The phrase ‘architecture is frozen music and music is liquid architecture’ encapsulates the essence of this project. It describes how music and architecture adopt the golden ratio to express harmony.

The study of cymatics reveals that sound vibrations excite matter in geometric forms. By placing water inside a loudspeaker, Tanya discovered the hidden geometry of these resonant frequencies, hence translating sound into liquid architecture. She engraved these ‘sound glyphs’ onto stone tablets, in an attempt to freeze the music of the architecture. This project aims to provoke new insights into the subtle vibrations through which all life manifests itself.
