Plasticity

Uncategorized

Plasticity, a term relating to both the plastic arts and neuroplasticity or the brain’s capacity to change, sees the artist continuing to experiment with a poetic and actual fluidity of form. Hungerford’s videos, emerging from the process of creating and then melting small sculptural pieces, depict a quietly spectacular disintegration of the mistaken appearance of the solidity of our lives. The resulting swirl of psychedelic patterns is suggestive of a sublime cosmic flux within which new meanings may be sought in the face of the impermanent nature of identity, knowledge and civilisation.
