I recently visited Smith’s Row in Bury St Edmunds again to view the exhibition ‘Machines to Crystallize Time’ by CJ Mahony and Georgie Grace
On the front of the Exhibition it is written that: ‘The exhibition brings together their interests in contemporary states and immersive experiences which they create via built spaces through language and on screen’
The Artists built this exhibition just for Smith’s Row, ranging from Large scale sculptures, structures and projections to smaller scale structures and drawings.
I found the way they used light and video project to create silhouettes very intriguing as it reminded me of Kara Walker’s caricatures which take on the appearance of silhouettes and also her work with video and light projection.
This is something that I would be interested in doing to my own work, which I have experimented with in the past.
An interesting Idea would be to create a large scale paper cut suspended from the ceiling with light shining through with the viewer directly underneath interacting with the work.
