@ Joao Ferreira<\/a> 8-31 March, opens 6PM<\/p>\n

I had the pleasure of getting a personal viewing with some of Tammy Griffin’s<\/a> amazingly beautiful works – oil paintings and mixed media with programmed and animated LEDs – when I was in Grahamstown giving a workshop last year. I think the most wondrous thing about them is how they shift not only while you watch them, but when you walk away and come back, depending on the light surrounding them. A perfectly titled show, the pieces feel small and scared, personal and close, while enveloping you with their sheer size and performance.<\/p>\n

Tammy Griffin – animated light sculptures combined with oil and mixed media on canvas (title not given)<\/sup><\/p>\n

From the artist:<\/p>\n

My paintings are abstract versions of realistic portraits, private associations, self-invented marks, words and maps of energy. For this exhibition I added moving light to my palette to animate the works – oils, mixed media and electronics on canvas. I scratched, pierced, sculpted, painted, hammered, soldered, cut, poured, touched and calculated. I have used 500 LEDs, 1500 meters of wire, as well as 20 microprocessors to drive the lights. The result is full of texture, movement, music and rhythm. In the end, meditative and restful. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
