Juliana Capes

Exodus by Juliana Capes at Cupar Arts Festival an installation of umbrellas breaching the divide of inside/ outside, swarming to escape, taking flight. Juliana with this art work has again created a very bright colourful installation of flight.

"Objects carry much significance, attracting bravado or anxiety. They have the potential to effect human reactions to a space. In Exodus a flock of lost umbrellas is spanning a threshold, crossing a boundary, moving en masse to escape the curse upon those who open indoors. Inspired by scenes of mass human migrations, Exodus explores ideas of  curse and choice using the symbolism,repetition and form to invoke movement."    Juliana Capes 

Dominic Wilcox

Dominic Wilcox has already appeared on this blog . As soon as I learned who had created this installation Field, of course, came to mind. I adore this man's way of thinking, his work is a breath of fresh air.

Maria Fernanda Cardoso

Maria Fernanda Cardoso, is a Colombian artist now settled in Australia who has produced an amazingly varied portfolio of works. I have posted an example of Maria's incredible costumes made from emu feathers here.
I once saw a film with water suspended above a bed like this, and I dreamed about how lovely it would be to have it full of fish, but then the practicalities of this came to mind and so I never did it, a shame to be practical sometimes.

Lotte Geeven I

Dissected encyclopedic images were used by Lotte Geeven to create this cloud or universe of beings, a world rebuilt in the clear language of biology books.

Susie MacMurray

This gossamer, haunting installation by Susie MacMurray is called echo and is made from 10,000 hairnets each containing strands of horse hair from violin bows.

Cigarette Instalation

Today I did a cigarette installation for the college. I drew a chalk respiratory system on the ground and then invited the students to stub out on the pink lungs. Not the prettiest art work, but it did the trick.
