Shaunagh Ashby & Tory Epworth exhibition

Resonance is an exhibition by emerging artists Shaunagh Ashby and Tory Epworth exploring the interaction of light on colour and form.

Colour resonance refers to the concept that colours, like sound, possess inherent energy frequencies that resonate with human perception, emotions, and psychological states. This body of abstract sculptural and painted works explore the dynamics and play of light reflecting and refracting through layers of colour. Both artists are interested in the way in which certain colour relationships seem to vibrate generating an intensity and .  

Shaunagh Ashby’s practice is concerned with the interactions of light, colour, space and movement through compositional form and colour dialogues. Working in both two and three dimensions, her process involves compositions generated by overlaying layers of transparent colours to create a sense of being suspended in colour and light. Her palate plays with the visual energy and tension between colour relationships and the emotional response they provoke.

Tory Epworth is an Australian artist based in Bondi, Sydney. She creates light sculptures made of acrylic sheet and glass. Epworth methodically arranges luminous transparent acrylic blades to abstract light and colour in a three-dimensional form. Their linear simplicity and repetitive form is minimal, rigid, static – a conduit for the fluid, ambient expression of light and colour. By playing with the balance of colour combinations she explores with human sensory perceptions.
