We've been talking so much, but its amazing how sometimes talking feels like empty words that are quite abstract until they are filled up with tangible, visual meaning. So much of art (all kinds of art) is about the power of aesethic. It's amazing how aesthetic, when done right, can be such a strong conceptual carrier.
And there is something about the aesthetic of this work that really strikes a chord with me.
Writing about it on his website Keith Armstrong states:
'Grounded Light was a performance/installation event presented on Mt. Tinbeerwah, Noosa hinterland, Queensland for the 2003 Noosa Gallery Floating Land Festival. As the lit performer wound her way up the mountain audience groups followed by lamplight. The work continued on the summit of Mt Tinbeerwah with a video installation in the lookout tower and hundreds of white lights quivering in the wind - accompanied by stunning 360 views of the shire’s lights, floating over the ground, far below.'
