Forest mushrooms
and light-emitting diodes do not as a rule, occupy the same plane of existence.
We like to keep nature in a separate compartment a safe distance away
from technology, which is what makes Marilla Palmer's new works a bit
disconcerting at first glance. Her mobiles and wall sculptures, which
might contain beads, bits of plastic, tree fungus and decorative letters
all come with their own lighting systems which change hues at varying
speeds... The dichotomy
in Palmer's work is that we see one thing but feel another. She visually
convey's a sense of fragile beauty and hope while playing with the darker
side of emotion. There is a dichotomy of materials too, in which the whimsy
of Alexander Calder meets the mood of James Turrell.
