| Indra’s Net stretches out infinitely in all directions and there is a glittering jewel in each node of the net, infinite in number. In each facet of each jewel there are reflected all the other jewels in the net and each of the jewels reflected in this one jewel also reflects all the other jewels. Indra’s Net makes particular reference to the artists’ continuing examination of the interconnected and inter-dependent nature of all things, as in Buddhist thinking. It embraces the meeting of science and religion and a breadth of contemplative images and ideas drawn from different philosophies, ancient and modern, East and West. The exhibition draws work from Reflection shown in Peterborough Cathedral in 2012 which then toured to Western Connecticut State University, honouring a visit by the Dalai Lama. The tall structures that will hang throughout The Cello Factory space will convey in awe-inspiring fashion the exhibition's basis of light, sound and a myriad of multi-faceted reflections and distortions. The sonic accompaniments provided by Dydo have been written specifically for each of these works of art. Short melodic fragments are repeated, mirrored, stretched and condensed into multiple reflections of themselves. It is the very reflections that occur in this multi-sensory experience that bring forth the underlying concept of the exhibition’s subject matter. Indra’s Net presents works from Reflection in a secular context and combines them with new and other recent works which look at interconnectedness in ways that embrace the organic through the ubiquitous materials of water and stone and in particular through paintings that convey metaphorical aspects of water. To celebrate the display, there will also be a series of music and poetry recitals to accompany the show on various evenings throughout the week, see Programme of Events for details. The central image at the top was Fragments and Reflections (wire, rock fragments, mirrors) . |
