Whirligig

At the first day of Max's class, we were brought to an art gallery named Red Gate at Brixton to see an exhibition entitled 'Landscapes of the Self''after a short brief about related modules. The artist's work that he showed us is Fiona Carson- Whirligig. A 15 minute video exploration of the textile constructions of Fiona Carson was also filmed by Max Schleser and with the accompanying electronic music by Dithernoise.

Whirligig

Fiona Carson has been working with fibre for the last twelve years. She uses it to explore a landscape of the Self, which has been shaped by motherhood, feminism and psychoanalysis. Her shapes derive from dream catchers, female body shapes, nest, and vessels. She is interested in objects that have an enigmatic presence or ritual function.

“I like the chaotic energy, vitality and density of organic forms. Placing my work in the landscape led to the creation of the video Whirligig made with Max Schleser and Simon Longo, which documents a mysterious encounter with my work in the ritual space of a pergola in Golders Hill Park.”

The Backgroud

by Sue Manchoulas

Her work draws on her background in music composition, to give expression to the world around us in a complex layering of rhythms both sonic and visual. Using found sights, sounds and materials from the mundane, she constructs a new visual/sound world experience for consideration.

These pictures are made by Yewande Okuleye.

Her art practice is based on the itinerant studio. She travels to spiritual landscapes; altars, shrines and sacred spaces. On return, the artist works with olfactory scientists to create a scent. The scent is like a secret fragrant fingerprint of her impressions, experience and memories unique to a particular time and place. The scent is reconfigured into visual language. The fragrant doodle series uses digital drawing software to explore the relationship between the olfactory sense and embodiment.

Below is an art piece done by another artist name Ann Haycock.

She lives and works as an artist in Cornwall. Her practice incorporates installation, video and performance. The starting point for her work is an everyday object or activity. These are used to explore moments of action and reciprocal, sometimes unexpected reactions. Viewing Ann’s work one experiences a juxtaposition of melancholy and an understated humour.
