WATERFABRICSKIN [hands] Installation

April 2022, organza sculptures 2 metres with LED strip lights, video drawing projected 2 minutes 57 seconds.

Programmable LED strip lights brought the sculptures to life in an immersive installation, freeing the viewer to flow around and experience the drawing around them.

Replicating water through other materials continued to interest me. I found this pale blue organza fabric that reminded me of the water shapes made in WATERFABRICSKIN [hands]. Starting to drape and pin, two organza sculptures were made. I experimented with the sculptures in a space including projection of the video-drawing. Even though the sculptures flowed delicately to the ground, I wanted to replicate the movement of the water further with the lights.
