SUNDOME | CUPAR ARTS FESTIVAL

by Travelling around the world, in sacred geometry

Utilising structural theory born out of the eco movement of the 1960’s and Lloyd Kahn’s geodesic dome designs Mike Inglis project creates an architectural mix media assemblage. The installation combines traditional materials with new print making technologies, laser engraving acrylic panels and spray painting complete this three dimensional “print”.

This site specific environmental intervention is situated in the green space of Cupar’s riverside park within a ring of sentinel trees. The construction explores ideas based around visual perception, codes of abstraction and versions of reality seeking links with diverse theories surrounding epileptic visual auras, bioenergetics and sacred geometries.

Cupar Arts festival has been growing and growing as has its reputation as a serious organization which has such a positive approach to taking art out of traditional gallery spaces and into the heart of the community. It’s a real pleasure to be invited to show at the festival but even more importantly at a time of crisis in arts funding to actually be supported in making new work and developing my practice. It should also be mentioned that the dome would never have been fabricated on budget or with the level of precision it displays without the gracious assistance of my friend and fellow creative douglas kelso who gave amazing help and support

DARK MATTERS : HIGHER THAN ICARUS

by Travelling around the world, in wall installation

higher than icarus - gallery installation shot

foreign bodies triptych and the primitives

What I am exploring is completely inspired by the creative response of Ann Druyan (the wife of Carl Sagan) who made recordings of her brainwaves and heart rates in an attempt to define what it felt like to be in love for the cultural time capsule the golden records which Voyager 1 now carries as it leaves our galaxy travelling into deep space on a journey that began in 1977. Carl Sagan died in 1996 but the recordings of their love still flow out into the void on an eternal voyage through the cosmos. This beautiful sentiment is meant more as a symbol of our species’ altruistic potential than a conscious attempt to communicate with alien societies and re-enforces my own humanity.

HIGHER THAN ICARUS – a love song to earth -– 19 golden hexagons in a screen printed wall mounted installation (based on the base of a fluorescence air telescope and sized to be equal to the Hubble) exploring the visual language of science and art – combining vector and hand driven drawings, scientific diagrams and notation to produce a synthesis of images which explore the idea of the higher emotions.

SUNSONG ONE AND SUNSONG TWO : a sound installation which combines the sound of the suns radiation with human heartbeats and a 3D print of the “singing” Rosetta comet (supplied by UKATC) ultimately help explore these concepts based around universal love. The sun emitting radiation at the highest frequency in our universe and the law of vibration, a law which states that nothing rests means that the sun offers an emotional high beyond any human understanding of the concept of love or the higher emotional states. It provides a physical love song to humanity.

THE FOREIGN BODIES EDITIONS – these editions at first appear to be asteroids or space debris but are in fact corals, rocks formed by living earth based organisms. They assist in decoding HIGHER THAN ICARUS and examine the same concepts in a triptych format

THE PRIMITIVES –wooden painted geometric shapes and patterns that govern our understanding of the world whether artistically or scientifically and examine the relationships between the circle and the hexagon that underpin much of the image building. These shapes are derived from the Metatron cube a geometrical concept that helps examine the links between science with metaphysics.
