Mixed media (acrylic, light, animation)
Impression – Time Crossing Culture was conceived for the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford to create an interactive artwork that reflected the museum’s cultural history and collections but would also be a visual attraction and draw people towards and into the Welcome Space.
The installation reflects my interest in light and language and with the repetition of single or a few components within a piece. The overall form of the artwork takes inspiration from a clock face, where each of the 12 numbers is represented by rings of identical spheres suspended from the ceiling. While the overall form represents the concept of time, each sphere or globe (the shape created from the lines of longitude and latitude) is representative of the Earth. The sculpture is overlaid with a digital animation that casts a gentle moving image (an eclectic mix of ancient symbols and geometry) through the spheres onto the floor.
