Rosalyn Driscoll’s sculptural
installation, Form is Emptiness, Emptiness is Form, grew
out of her fascination with touch and her rehabilitation
from a hand injury that highlighted the ways we are shaped
by all the hands that touch us in a lifetime. Dozens of
hands in a variety of media and a range of styles hover
in space, evoking an invisible body they “touch,” and
suggesting the Buddhist experience of how form defines emptiness,
and emptiness defines form. Each hand brings to the encounter its own
character and history, suggesting the progression of tactile, karmic
influence.
Videos projected onto Driscoll's sculpture,
Second Skin, from the sides and above portray hands in motion
with and without the object of their work, such as a cellist
with and without the cello. The video hands range in scale
from tiny images that land on a single sculpted hand to large
images that animate the walls of the room. Although a purely
visual piece, the aim of the installation is to engender
in the viewer the feeling of touching and being touched.
Form
is Emptiness, Emptiness is Form will be on exhibit in the Brown
Fine Arts Center's Oresman Gallery in Hillyer Hall. There
will be an opening reception Saturday, April 9 from 5 to
6 p.m. in the Oresman Gallery. |
