Foggy Dew – Wukou Si Sucrose Series mixed media 100x50cm Niamh Cunningham 瑞莲2020
The Sucrose Series is a mixed media series which focusses on carefully selected nature photographic images which are then subjected to various ‘interventions” . These interventions represent the manmade interventions we have imposed on our planet since the industrial revolution. Following a process of multiple steps of intervention including sewing and printing on cotton, the ink is partially lifted from the surface into the sugar mixture, often Chinese water-colour is added, these pigments move in a state of flux as the sugar mixture crystalizes and so the painting continues its process in the following months and even years. The Sucrose Series involves not just the original artwork but many process images which document the changes that has occur over many months or even years . Some of these images from the different stages during the transformative crystalisation process reveal interesting happenings that also reflect the positive and negative feedbacks which happen to our biosphere . It is this complex network of events which are difficult to isolate and attribute as direct consequence of a single action. This artwork has been shown on my blog a collection of tree stories called “Memory Palace of Trees ” in 2020 . This is a socio eco practice where the public is invited to share tree stories. This year tree stories are submitted in the format of one minute videos.
