Ephemeral Bodies

Abstract

Ephemeral Bodies is an exhibition of new print, drawing and sound works resulting from a 4 week residency at AirSpace Gallery in April/May 2022. New works have responded site specifically to the gallery building and studio space tracing unseen frequencies and rhythms, transforming them into a series of drawings and soundscapes.

Ephemeral Bodies is the state of being transitory, existing only briefly and emanates from Porosity - an ACE funded R&D project seeking to reveal unseen landscapes, exploring the walking body as a receiver of the hidden energies surrounding us.

Material investigations have traced the interaction between the artist hand and material surfaces, tracing the exchange between absence and presence. Through site-specific drawing, the visible time taken to physically create, and the temporality of unconventional drawing materials, viewers are asked to consider how we understand and value sensory encounters of invisible forces we cannot see.
