Artist Statement for Robyn Tomlin
|
|
|
A Fellow in Syracuse University’s School of Art and Design, College of Visual and Performing Arts, Tomlin believes that projected video art can enhance the architectural and interior design of any structure. “Video art is a superb, often overlooked medium that can be used as part of architectural design and help create public spaces with unique atmospheres,” she says. The video art she displayed at the Whitney was incorporated into the interior design setting created by Tsao and McKown Architects for a benefit event held at the museum on May 8.
“I-candy” was a six-foot-long projected multi-colored eye that followed the guests; the eye was decorated in a new way each time it blinked. “Candle Chandelier” was projected upwards in a nearby courtyard. The image, which was created from projected candles, slowly transformed into different kinds of chandeliers.
Tomlin began working with video about five years ago and is using her University Fellowship to hone her skills and to experiment with the form. “I love the light,” she says of the art form. In addition to walls, dimensional screens and metals, she has projected her video art into a sink. One of her goals is to create a video pond, reminiscent of a Japanese garden, by projecting images into two inches of water. Her art themes are heavily influenced by nature and by the 13 years she spent living and working in Tokyo.
