The body itself is a screen
to shield and partially reveal
the light that's blazing
inside your presence

LIVELY ART
Australian artist Jocelyn Thompson’s luminous photo-digital artwork is featured in international and local shows. Her inspiration comes from nature observed close-up, and from eastern philosophies. The process is experimental and intuitive. Diverse media such as earth pigments and pure light evolve into multilayered images. Lively art, as opposed to mere representation of surface appearances, makes you look more closely. It rattles your certainties, challenges your assumptions, confronts you with ambiguity, fluidity and multiple interpretations. It suggests many things and equals none. You cannot understand it in the sense of placing it in a known category. Every time you look at a lively piece of art, you see something new, or see in a fresh way. Lively art wakes you up. |
