Standing Wave, is a pattern that happens when vibration is applied to a string or resonator fixed between 2 points. The vibration traverses along the fixed path in a wave pattern until it hits the endpoint and travels back in an equal but upside down pattern back toward the original point. When viewed with the human eye the string appears to vibrate up and down. This phenomenon is what happens when a string on an instrument is played. In this series Duncan McDaniel incorporates art and design into an intrinsic experience of finding harmony and simplicity in the creative process. The organic quality of the work is not as much of a decision of subject matter, but more of a process based evolution that highlights the binding connection between man and nature. Using elements of artificial light, found industrial materials and inks the artist creates work that reflect shapes and patterns that are nestled harmoniously in between the natural, manufactured, and the spiritual.The soul of the work reflects an approachable light hearted quality indicative of hearing a pleasing note or the sound of aum.
