Project: CONFLUENCE
Medium: Ink on paper, corrugated rubber, copper plates, mylar & transparencies.
Process: Lasercutting (Trotec), Digitisation, Vector graphics (Illustrator)
Location: Canberra AUS
Date: 2018
Details: Originating from a study on bacterial forms, algae and the healing microbes of the oceans, this project combines drawing with print / lasercut technology to represent fluidity and disturbance in our natural environment. The microbial forms (represented as circular flurries & explosive forms) would come to represent disruptions in an otherwise streamlined and placid, environment (illustrated by large linear waveforms). Initially inspired by the BP oil spill disasters in the Mexican Gulf (Deepwater Horizon ca.2010) and the scientific discoveries that resulted from the disaster, this project would come to illustrate a confluence of mixed media laser-cut materials and ink on paper line drawings, seeking to measure a level of material affinity and to investigate the potential harmony - or disharmony - this union might create.
__ The project outcomes were produced thanks to collaboration with the ANU Makerspace, 2017/18.
