Jeanette Barnes: works on paper
definitely like the scribbly, quick and almost careless properties of her work and the fact that she’s british so much of her work is based around the uk gives a real sense of home and comfort.
her website is worth looking at: she’s going to be the rock of my very last art project :(
LEBBEUS WOODS
EINSTEIN TOMB, 1980
“The tomb is a vessel journeying outward on a beam of light emitted from earth, following an immense and subtle arc through the stars. For eons it will inhabit the dominions of space, until in a distant time it must return to the world of its beginning. Thus a cycle the epicycle of Space and Time will close. On that remotest day the dark corridors of the infinite will again become thresholds for departure, fading shores on the dark gulf of eternity.
The form of the tomb has always been known; it existed as a sign in ancient codices, on countless maps of exploration.”

“Libeskind recruited his astrophysicist son, Dr. Noam I Libeskind, to develop an algorithm which would simulate the ‘cosmic light that fills the universe.’ Using 1,680 LEDs, Dr. Libeskind programmed a light sequence that renders the genesis of the universe in vivid colors. ‘The idea is based on the theory that the Universe is around 14 billion years old and that its building blocks – galaxies like the Milky Way – grew larger as the Universe aged. As they grew larger, the light their stars emitted changed, visible as the eL emits different colors.’ One billion years are here compressed in one second, so that the color patterns run in a loop 14 seconds in length.”
