Moment of Light
Moment of Light
2 to 28 June 2017
The artists in Moment of Light explore perceptions and representations of the peculiarities of light. They consider the notion of light, aiming to capture that moment when the light is exactly right. They appreciate the presence of light in our landscape as well as the light emanating from colour or created through artificial sources. All are concerned with optics. Our eyes are complex organs that receive visual information and inform us about our physical world through the different contexts of experiencing light.
Artists: Lucy Barker, Ruth Burgess, David Collins, Viola Dominello, Virginia Hilyard, Andrew Leslie, Ana Pollak, Sherna Teperson
Ruth Burgess, David Collins, Viola Dominello and Ana Pollak are inspired by aesthetic qualities of light in the landscape. They see light illuminating the forest, leaves, trunks, birds and canopies as the sky changes its light through the seasons and times of day. The vast space of the mysterious night sky with its seen as a reoccurring ever changing moment of light.
Andrew Leslie and Sherna Teperson are inspired by the physical properties of light; the reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in the inseparable form of colour. They consider ideas about the materiality of vision in an age where artificial illumination and backlit technologies effect how we perceive light. Moments when contrasting qualities produced by light come together.
Lucy Barker and Virginia Hilyard utilise the transformative power of artificial light through drawing and film. Ideas about the moment of light untangling the confusion in our mind and shedding light on some of our questions. The materiality of cinema with the moment of light hitting the frame of celluloid.
