UWAG - Natalie Hunter: Crystal Image, a memory of leaves and light
Open until Apr 30

Free
Organized by University of Waterloo Art Gallery
Crystal Image, a memory of leaves and light was commissioned for the window space above the East Campus Hall (ECH) entrance to UWAG. Photographing the architecture and landscaping around ECH using 120mm film, Hunter processed a series of three photographic transparencies that she describes as “slow cinema”. Over the course of the day the passage of light further activates the saturated colours of these transparencies, casting ephemeral coloured shadows onto the walls and floor of the long corridor adjacent to the gallery.
Natalie Hunter is from Hamilton, Ontario and completed her MFA at the University of Waterloo. Working between photography, installation, and moving image, she is known for her multilayered photo-based installations featuring colour imagery on transparent film.
