Laura Buckley's work...

Laura Buckley's work was brought to my attention in a digital workshop which was based on how to present my work digitally. What I noticed about Buckley's work is that she uses a variety of techniques to make 1 whole installation, from these images it is clear she is very talented, she presents her work beautifully with care to every little detail.

The image above of the installation called 'Suspended hexagon', 2010, shows a variety of techniques and materials. Buckley uses 2 way mirror perspex pieces, plywood, wire, motors and video projections to put this installation together, the dimensions vary throughout. She uses repetition of movement, reflections from the perspex and video projections and light exposure, she also experiments with creating sculpture and structure using these 4 elements. I think illusion and imagination are key when looking at Laura Buckley's installations, I can see this one being relaxing.

The image above is of Laura Buckley's installation called 'Stage Fright', 2007. From the way she uses light and prjections she creates a combination or collages of light imagery and also moveable imagery. Using light gives Buckley the advantage of creating shadowing and structures, her work is very distinct and beautifully presented, through her work she creates dream-like scenario's.

The installation presented in the image above is named 'Slip Sensor: Part 2'. Beautiful coloured projections that form sculptures with the added use of light. She shows her process of her ideas being turned into images that are then turned into installations through her final presentation. The use of colour and refections with the light all working together is something I want to present in my final visual outcomes.
I've already worked with coloured hard plastics and coloured cellophane with reflections and these have worked really well, adding the forms of light and mirrors would push this idea and hopefully create ideas that are as beautiful and intriguing as the ones Laura Buckley has presented.
