An exhibtion of new work by Australian artist Lynette Wallworth will be opening at National Glass Centre, Sunderland this Saturday. Wallworth is displaying installation based work following her residency at National Glass Centre last year.
Lynette Wallworth’s practice spans video installation, photography and short film. This exhibition brings together three works that employ glass as both an interface for intimate interaction as well as surface for projected imagery across these mediums. The artist describes her intention as ‘bringing together technological advances and ancient understandings, new media and old practices, electronics and the electricity of human touch’.
Wallworth’s work is about the relationship between ourselves and nature, about how we are made up of our physical and biological environments, even as we re-make the world through our activities.
She creates immersive environments which offer a tactile gateway and often rely on activation or participation from the visitor; the interplay between moving image, sound, space and visitor is central to her work.
For more information, go to the National Glass Centre website. Expect a full review by perimeter in the next couple of days.
