Chara Lewis

Chara Lewis's lecture was interesting because she uses light and shadows to produce most of her work. In the Trespassing images she explains she usees other spaces to make her own space and to take the real and imaginary and mix them together. I found this quite fascinating because I do know, how important it is to be original.
 I also thought the idea of going into museum stores and producing artwork to go in the gallery and again using light and shadows to produce images that look gloomy in the Museum storage rooms.

 I have to say I loved The Messenger that was installed in Tatton Park to 2012. Unfortunately I never saw installation but still think the image is beautiful on-screen and in pictures.

 The next image that caught my eye was To Suspend the Breath that was exhibited at Yorkshire sculpture Park 2008. The image is a heart-shaped pair of lungs that inhale and exhale illuminating the bronchioles and alveoli. I've seen the picture of this installation but I've never seen it actually seen it working much to my disappointment.
