11/16/2019 0 Comments Experience: InlightThis weekend, I went to Inlight, which was in Chimbarazo Park this year, and chilly as always. It seemed like there were less works this year than usual, especially in the performance art area. However, my favorite piece was "The Memory of Now" (depicted of above), where the artist, True Harrigan, used acrylic and projections to question how people leave memories in places. By forming acrylic sheets around sitting, walking, and lounging figures, Harrigan created sculpturally interesting installations and allowed the viewer to walk through a dream-like space. Personally, since I know the difficulty of using heat to form PVC and pouring resin, this piece captured a medium I am interested in, and one I would like to work with in the future. The use of light in her work also reminded me of a theme I tried to incorporate into my work last year, and one I was considering using in my sculpture this year. Although I know the show is "In Light", I still thought her projections to be a tasteful addition to her already interesting acrylic wraps. Harrigan's work was the highlight of the show for me, and there were only two or three more of the works that I could appreciate. I look forward to next year's show, and am curious to know whether or not it will be back at the VMFA.
