LIGHT TARTANS + LIGHT HUGS
An exhibition of “light painting” and “light graffiti” by Vicki DaSilva, involving sweeping movement of a fluorescent tube, captured by extended exposure photography. Participate with DaSIlva on Saturday night when she will create "Light Hug" portraits using an 8-foot fluorescent lamp. Light Hugs will take place at The Doyle Residence at the corner of Queen and Doyle Street.
In the gallery, Studio 21 opens an exhibition of work by Vicki DaSilva. Vicki has a 25-year career developing her practice of “light painting” and “light graffiti”. “Light painting” involves sweeping movement of a fluorescent tube, captured by extended exposure photography. Her subjects have included political graffiti, as well as interior and exterior landscape interventions. More recently she is working on a series of “woven” light tartans.
On Saturday October 16, Vicki DaSilva will create a series of free to the public, ‘Light Hug’ portraits outside at the corner of Queen and Doyle Streets. She uses an 8-foot fluorescent lamp to encircle participants and create extended exposure photos. They will be downloadable to participants from the Nocturne website.
