Theodora’s most current work uses digital patterns to visualize mysterious underwater calls of cetaceans. She etches and paints the patterns onto blown glass forms. Inspired by native stories of animal spirits and biology, I look at ways to tell visual stories of biology and migratory maps of people and animals as they are recorded through science. The science of cymatics defines the study of how sound vibration can be seen in physical material.

The cells in plants and animals are known to grow in efficient patterns in the high frequencies of C and E. These are also the frequencies found in whale and dolphin calls. The migration routes and pattern of their calls are recorded in their bone growth, most specifically in the vertebrae which hold nerve channels. This has been the impetus for these works.
