Collaborative show with Mitra Fabian and Arressai - a multisensory immersion of light, sound, and sculpture featuring a closing live sonic performance. Arressai’s light sculptures and mixed media pieces bring viewers into an otherworld where senses are crossed. The impact of the audience’s interaction with Fabian’s resistor and capacitor mixed media sculptures was further sculpted through Arressai’s sonic design. Fabian’s works uses diodes and electrical transistors to create fragile otherworldly sculptures referential of organic form. These elements unite the artist’s through their reimagining of traditionally industrial electronics as organic imagined forms positioned in this show to embrace and interact with the audience.

INNER WORLD OF A WOMAN explores themes of feminine power and emergence by means of an immersive sound installation. Viewers were invited to meditate in the cavernous structure with the artist’s light sculpture synced to the undulating sounds of the piece where themes of regeneration, birth and death permeate the space. A recording of simple conversation and a closet of lit clothing echo the separation from the outer and inner worlds and the potence of the feminine force of creation.

In the immersive sound installation THE MOST PERTINENT TUMOUR attendees were invited to interact with the shibari tied sculpture, noting the fetishization of dis-ease. Participants were called to action through the physical confrontation of the form and the provision of boxing gloves as a device for interaction. Microphones amplified the user experience in real time creating a reverberation of sonic response to physical action.
Blood Box is a philosophical exploration of the temporal and ephemeral. After going on a backpacking excursion to Apple Valley’s Deep Creek, Cline noticed a bluish glow underwater emanating in an outline of her body. This conjured an exploration of the body as container for both flesh and an intangible and unexplainable essence that fuels the synergy of the bodies function.
The piece gained gravity over its creation, becoming a deeply personal work exploring loss, vulnerability, catharsis and regeneration.
