Harmonic Chart
HARMONIC CHART - limited edition screenprint by Michael Duncan Smither CNZM
Reproduction of Screenprint 1984 - (image displayed).
"I have related the 12 colours of the visible spectrum to the 12 notes in a musical octave. And further, the octave and the colour spectrum both manifest as a doubling of frequency from one end to the other. The harmonics and their placement generate a visual dance which the eye enjoys, and which can be played as colour sequences of musical notes."
