Installations: MARK MITCHELL NADINE SPALTER MAAK BOW DARRYL FROST PAERAU CORNEAL OWEN BARTLETT ISOBEL THOM BLUE BLACK
This installation explores concepts of transience and impermanence. I’m interested in capturing subtle changes and cyclic events that occur in the natural environment over time, such as tidal movements over the course of a day or a lunar cycle.
The carvings on the vessels are inspired by patterns left in the sand from an outgoing tide, or those created by the wind, exploring the temporal nature of these landscapes.
The installation also seeks to capture diurnal patterns, by fixing the movement of light and shadow that would naturally occur throughout the day, to just one moment in time.
