Kira Lynn Harris Exhibition
CUE Art Foundation
This event has ended.
New York-based artist Kira Lynn Harris masterfully manipulates the perception of space and place through her ethereal light installations and meditative drawings. Re-orienting the viewer’s observational equilibrium, the negotiation of the temporal qualities of light, atmosphere and perspective effectively de-stabilizes their pre-conceived approach to architectural structures. Each of her projects begins with an acute examination of the space and its location. Calling them “architectural and environmental interventions,” Harris often chooses to concentrate on transitional or overlooked areas, shifting the viewer’s focus from traditional points of view. Simple materials such as lighting gels, plywood and silver Mylar are employed sparingly to evoke a sense of mystery and otherness. Like the Science Fiction writers Harris admires, her fantastic environments transport the viewer to another realm, bringing into question their understanding of reality and in effect transforming their relationship with the world around them. Culling together interests in the sublime, the infinite and speculative fiction, her installations and drawings all come together to present an awe-inspiring and self-reflective experience, always unique to the location and viewer.
