Event Information

Gallery MOMO is proud to present LYNDI SALES' Blur Zone, opening Thursday 11 March @ 18h30 - 20h00 and concluding 12 April 2010.

"Vision, perception and the imagination is my focus in the exhibition titled Blur Zone. An eye condition began my investigation into eyesight dilemmas and the perceptual associations occurring due to astigmatism. Conditions of blurring, double vision and visual illusions typical of this condition, resulted in creations of abstract paper cut outs, drawings and a Spiro graphic string installation.

"Referring to the configuration of the hexagon as the substructure of the cornea, which also occurs and is replicated as the segments that cover the space telescope mirror, hexagonal fractured patterns, nets, matrixes, webs and Spiro graphs are all suggestive of that which is not easily visible with the naked eye. Looking into the blind spot is where we view less but see more. Optical and distorted illusions as well as colour theory, fracturing of light, colour vibration and colour spectrum models are surveyed and utilized as visual reference.

"In this body of work, microcosms and macrocosms become sites of unease but also act as locations where projections of Utopian notions are imagined. Dystopias reveal themselves as sites or situations that the eye does not want to see. Details become blurred and a contradiction occurs where the viewer is unsure of what they are looking at. The imaginary notion of a Utopian vision as a landscape is the result of a psychological condition of denial. Similarly, stargazing and the belief in other dimensions becomes a form of escape where looking out into the vastness of the universe acts as a license for the imaginary, deeming the here and now minuscule and insignificant."
