Underlines, through-lines (and the lines between)
Amy Rusch
"I began this piece by tracing elements from a geological map from a site in the northern Cape. This piece does not have a specific orientation. Like a map it can be turned in any cardinal direction. In it’s making, it was in continual movement. The needle of the sewing machine, as with a compass needle, provided the fixed point around which the piece moved and shifted.
The component elements of landscape and soundscape are subjective and oriented intimately with the maker's topophilia. The structure of geological sediments and hydrology, underlying the visible landscape, hold equal significance to what lies on the surface above.
Colour frequency and resonance energetically hold visible and invisible together."
