The Similarity of Parallel Worlds, 2011. Installation-hand blow, sandblasted glass domes with two videos.

The Similarity of Parallel Worlds visually explores when viewed through a microscope a single cell can bear an unnerving similarity to the Earth’s Sun as seen through a solar telescope. They appear worlds apart and inextricably linked. Tethered to one another in such a way that causes us to question their relationship. As we further examine the science of environmental change it becomes apparent that these two worlds are more influential then their scale infers.

Research for this work has been collated with Dr Judy Callaghan at Monash Micro Imaging, Dr Alina Donea at the Monash Centre for Stellar and Planetary Astrophysics in conjunction with NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory.

New Work

Here is a very cheeky peak at some new Bubbles I have been working on! This time the bubbles are a lot bigger and the glass is thicker, giving an optical effect just like a giant lens.




Bubbling Up, 2011.
Hand Blown, mirrored and dichroic glass

Using highly innovative materials such as NASA ’s dichroic glass, Bubbling Up examines the fragility of the Earth’s atmosphere and ecosystems that appear like a bubble, on the constant verge of collapse. Sometimes fickle and ever elusive, Bubbling Up highlights the ongoing need to quantify ecological concerns. Every day there are thousands of toxic gases bubbling up in the atmosphere. In the age of heightened ecological awareness Bubbling Up poses the question, is it possible to view a beautiful sunset and not wonder if the sky is set ablaze with such unique colours because of the toxic pollutants in the air reacting with the atmosphere? In the space that surrounds us, what is bubbling up?

This works will be on exhibition at dianne tanzer gallery + projects from Aug 20 - Sept 10

Bubbling Up on Artabase

It is nearly the end of winter, spring is just around the corner and I have been a busy bee in my studio cranking out some lustrous goodies that are soon to be on show. For a sneak peak! Check out Bubbling Up on Artabase.

Bubbling Up at dianne tanzer gallery + projects

Opening August 20, 2011 Bubbling Up is a pop up exhibition of new work by Jasmine Targett at dianne tanzer gallery + projects. The work explores the curious opulence of bubbles that appear simultaneously on the constant verge of expansion and collapse.

Bubbling Up is also one of Craft Victoria’s Craft Cubed Festival Satellite Events for 2011.
