This suite of drawings resonates sympathetically with the electromagnetic fields within the gallery. It engages with the possibilities for evidencing the local energetic environment through gold and graphite graphic interpretations of mathematical algorithms that behave like antennas. This work expands the conceptual limits of representation by activating the functional properties in the image both as a material entity and a form. It opens up possibilities for working with images as energy-scavenging devices.
Aura was funded by an Australia Council Fellowship and first exhibited in a solo exhibition at Breenspace Sydney. The work went on to be included in the exhibitions No Right Turn at Penrith Regional Gallery, Love of Diagrams at PICA (Perth Institute for Contemporary Art) WA, and Opening Lines at Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces, Melbourne.
