First Thursdays: Life Aquatic

1 December 2016

Sydenham, Christchurch

Clara included a small, time-based sculpture in the show, Message in a Bottle, for First Thursdays: Life Aquatic. Perhaps fittingly, the title of this work has been lost to time and poor record keeping.

The work is a strip of 16mm colour film in a bottle containing a bleach solution. The colours of the emulsion gradually leech into the solution, progressing though shades of red and blue before finally settling in a purple slurry.
