THE EARTH SPUN LIGHT
THE EARTH SPUN LIGHT aims to celebrate light's ubiquitous presence in the landscape and its role in revealing the distinctive atmospheres and terrains of each place. Our art encourages viewers to become more attuned to the dynamic flows of light that continually animate and transform our natural environment.
PROJECTS
The Earth Spun Light is a collaboration between artists Kari Cahill and Robert Doherty. The project explores light, landscape and colour. Our practice often revolves around harnessing the solar energy present at specific landscapes. We expose light sensitive materials, primarily experimental cyanotype and film based processes, to create explorative and captivating artworks that express light as both subject and medium.
