Observatory / Temporal Duality

Observatory / Temporal Duality

Hand Blown, Sandblasted, Mirrored and Dichroic Glass, 2009.

A series from the Inside the Realm of Invisible Spheres Exhibition, that worked with the notion of cells. On the microscopic level, cells apear as bubbles, floating, contained & regulated. When you zoom out and look at the shell of the cell, or rather the human from which it has come, there is a rupture- as though through magnification we are yet to fully understand the relationship between the interior and exterior, the outer and inner, the micro & macro cosmoses of the self & the universe.

Hand Blown Glass Sandblasted and Black Dichroic Glass, 2009.

This was a series I worked on for the 'Inside Realm of Invisible Spheres' exhibition. At the time I was fascinated by the modern notion of the Atom and how little we know about its make up. I started playing with microscopic and macroscopic structures that exist as the fabric of nature and the universe.

Jasmine Targett (objects)& Debbie Symons (drawings)

Works from the exhibition explore shifts of perception that occur when our awareness of reality through observation is deconstructed, exposing a rupture in the natural order. Spheres and bubbles with their infinite and sensitive boundaries mark out fragile positive and negative spaces.

CURIOUS OPULENCE
Hand Blown, Cut and Polished
Dichroic, Silvered and Mirrored Glass.

Special Thanks to Nadia Mercuri
Head of Hot Shop at Monash Uni Glass

Curious Opulence was my graduate installation from Honours in Fine Arts at Monash University.

The work was comprised of sculptural components exploring optically impossible and complex spaces that the modern notion of the atom quantifies. These hand blown, mirrored and dichroic glass objects were unique prism-like spherical fragments of a Baroque nature. Each fragment held a visual connection to the other alluding that they had all once belonged to a greater whole. The final installation Curious Opulence created a situation for the human eye to investigate the dissolvability of form and obscurity of perception.

DETAIL IMAGES

Hand Blown, Cut and Polished Dichroic, Silvered and Mirrored Glass.

All components change colour depending on the position of the viewer in relation to the object. For example, in the image below, the Gold/Orange glass, shifts to a Blue, while the Blue changes to a Pink and the Violet to a Green. Depending on the surface the objects sit on, they reflect and refract light, changing colour through out the day. At night time they glow.
