'Bounce' juxtaposes and bounces between elemental opposites through moving images and sound, a sculptural rear projection screen, and a sequence of printed images. Metaphorical elemental images of figures and simple human gestures are presented as visual equivalents for the polarities of up and down, above and below, work and play, and the struggles of life.
Bounce - an intermedia installation
Amy Lixl-Purcell, a well-respected artist in North Carolina whose works investigate personal and cultural memory as it is related to sensory experience, will be showing an intermedia installation that expresses a presentation of polarities.
Amy Lixl-Purcell received her M.F.A at Rutgers University and currently teaches at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. As a nationally and internationally exhibiting artist, Lixl-Purcell’s work traverses the traditional boundaries between practices and disciplines as she incorporates a range of media and methods in pursuit of content-based works. Digital processes and media are central to her work, which includes sound, video, photography and sculptural elements.
“Bounce†juxtaposes and bounces between elemental opposites through moving images and sound, a sculptural rear projection screen, and a sequence of printed images. Metaphorical elemental images of figures and simple human gestures are presented as visual equivalents for the polarities of up and down, above and below, work and play, and the struggles of life. The looping video and sculptural installation asks the viewer to locate themselves on a scale of extremes where black and white reveal the beauty of the grayscale in between.
