Impermafrost (2017) Angela Davies
Impermafrost is an audiovisual installation that seeks to encourage reflection on environmental dialogues. The alchemy of glass through the transformative qualities of heat and light allow for connections alluding to ice forms and processes of climate change. The light installation is animated through responsive coding allowing for triggered projections of the glass embodiments. The cyclical illumination of the works is informed by the shifting states of Arctic sea ice.
Impermafrost forms part of solo exhibition in succession of a residency programme the artist engaged in at S12 Galleri.
Angela Davies is an interdisciplinary artist based in Wales, working across the intersections of art, science, technology and nature. Her work engages with contemporary themes within the context of site, space and process. The works interaction allows for intimate experiences that encourage altered perceptions between inner and outer space. This extends to reflections upon the way the environment is experienced and imagined.
