‘Wavescapes’, is an music album made in collaboration minamalist composer Matt Gooderson. The work was created during 2022 Lockdown and expressing a longing for the sea combining art and music inspired by the propelling energy found in waves. The album was released in June 2020 available on Bandcamp @playinthesystem, using 'Möbius wave' etching as its cover. This work featured in Printmaking Today 2021. The music has since featured in dance performances and art installation.
​
Having my work used as a music album cover is a dream come true for me, having the music inspired by my art has taken it into another dimension.
