The artists’ hands are obvious in these finely crafted pieces, which show meticulous attention to detail. The ritual of the lengthy process and the element of time spent are evident as one looks at the craftsmanship of both installations. Multiple little pieces of parts gathered together create intricate environs for the viewer to explore.
Galston’s Ariel, from her Luminous Garden series, is an immersive environment, the sixth in a series, and is made up of tiny LEDs set in cast resin acorn caps, which hover over tangles of wires in a darkened room. Inspired by a trip to the Galapagos and swimming underwater, this piece creates an immersive environment for viewers to travel.
Ferrier works with leaves, cells, and the language of scientific illustration- stitching together her pieces with traditional domestic handicraft. Her work explores the interplay between organism and culture, and and the biomorphic form within her installation utilize non-traditional materials.
