Joanna Mowbray
My art practise involves the construction of sculpture, drawing and collaborative performance/dance work. The research is concerned with the relationships between three-dimensions and two-dimensions, the physical and metaphor,movement and stillness,light and shadow. Work is made for gallery exhibitions,interior/exterior sites and architectural spaces. The work explores shape, line, form, perimeter, position,location, in response to spaces within, around and in-between. The concerns are to construct work in harmony with the space in which it is to be located, whether it is a domestic, architectural, landscape or urban environment. To create spaces that can celebrate the location, and the constant changes of the surroundings, people moving, light and weather.
Essentially for me, the sculpture is about creating forms that encourage contemplation,a sence of time and place, an awareness of changing natural light throughout the day, in and around the material form. The sculpture articulates light, shadow, darkness,internal and external spaces. These elements become intrinsically and metaphorically expressive. The intention through making art, is to create a spiritual presence that has a timeless quality. To discover and create experiences of stillness and quiet.
Initially I develop ideas in note books, drawing shapes and forms, often in response to a line, contour curve of the body or a natural form, in contrast to straight, more measured lines. The shapes are used both for large scale drawings and also to make patterns for the development and construction of sculpture. Rythm and repetion are also important construction and expressive elements, which relate to my interest in sound and music.
In early 2011 my work was installed in the ICC Building,Hong Kong for the Ritz Carlton Hotel on the 118th floor. I was commissioned by CE Sun Hung Kai Properties for the installation of wall based work, for three sites. These works were develpoed in response to the location and interior architecture, using forms that hang from fine stainless steel cables, which were repeated across a given space, changing the size of the form,to imply a sense of depth and movement.
Within the collaborative multi-disciplinary work, I am interested in exploring the relationship between form,body,movement and sound. In 2001,I became the founding artistic director of Sculpture, Dance, Performance Collaboration Ltd. and director of the performance work 'so far, so near' which we performed in Rehovot Municipal Gallery,nr.Tel Aviv, Israel and in the Square Chapel, Halifax, West Yorkshire.The Artists that collaborated for this project were Irit Bluzer-performance artist, dancer- Andrea Buckley, video artist-George Saxson,composer-Jim Beirne, and phonic artist- Helmut Lemke.
In November 2012 I began to work again with Irit Bluzer, we developed a new performance work titled 'StorRa'.This collaboration continued through 2013 to 2014. The first performance of 'StorRa' was performed in the event '25 Performance Art Platform' in Tel Aviv, Dec.2013.
