It’s hard to move away from turning water, Firstdraft | Sydney

Drawing on the writing of Lyn Hejinian, it’s hard to move away from turning water took a boxed archive of 35mm slides stored within a pebblecrete shower cubicle as an allegorical site from which to contemplate the fluidity of forms as they are presented, viewed and recalled across time. Via sculpture, cyanotype, mobiles and de-silvered mirrors, imagery drawn from within the slide archive is fragmented, transposed and re-composed ~ generating new forms across the bathroom and gallery while a body of water performed a continuous loop at the threshold dividing the spaces.
