Indepth Arts News: "Lyndal Jefferies: Amoebase and Crystalline Matter" 2002-11-20 until 2002-12-20 Physics Room Christchurch, , NZ New Zealand (Aotearoa)
The artist takes the human body as a
starting point to discoveries relating to all matter and energy systems.
Installed in the Physics Room will be amoebase, a work in which low
frequency electrical resistance is transmitted randomly through sound into
pools of matter - creating intricate patterns, wave forms and
crystallisations. Through this work Jefferies is able to give a kind of
visual form to sound, creating a new experience of the sonorous world for
the viewer.
In an accompanying body of work, crystalline, Jefferies again blends
science and art, exploring the complex and intricate nature of matter - how
it acts and how it grows. In these works Jefferies presents exquisite salt
paintings grown on glass, complex structures grown from saline solution and
cast glass snow crystals.
Lyndal Jefferies studied at Sydney College of the Arts, and Goldsmiths
Colege in London. She recently completed a residency at the Irish Museum of
Modern Art in Dublin. Previous exhibitions have included the London
Biennialle, the Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney, Transmission Gallery
Edinburgh and Artspace in Auckland.
