| Lynsay Raine Artist The body is a site-specific landscape for which I have created this series of "Suggestive Apparatus". I am fascinated by momentary existential actions often taken for granted, particularly the human breath. Making a spectacle of something that exists but is not visible incites mystery and intrigue. Chemistry laboratories and other sterile environments inspired the mechanical yet organic aesthetic of these ahistorical instruments. The process of glass blowing has dictated the outcome of these ambiguous forms, quite literally capturing samples of my own exhaled breath as if it were a rare specimen. The result is an amalgamation of provocative extensions of the body prompting emotional response. I explore interactions between the object and the body, encouraging reflection about the value our own human existence. M: +64 210 744 063 E: lynsay.raine@gmail.com W: http://www.rainedesign.vox.com |
