Referencing Tohaku Hasegawa's ‘Pine Trees’ screens circa 1595, and the works of Hiroshige and Hokusai, Damian Gascoigne's dual screen artwork 'High Wind Over Hasegawa' (2021( is now showing in 'Cel: The Artist as Animator' at Bathurst Regional Art Gallery.
Of this work, Damian says, 'The hand drawn ink animation is made for two-screen projection, drifting in and out of sync, exploring Buddhist ideas of non-duality as we take off and find ourselves tethered at the same time. The drawings swirl, hats fly off, a shout goes up- do it anyway, what’s yours is mine, we’re going to be fine somehow. The work marks a period of great uncertainty - and considerable excitement - as I sought the courage to make big change happen, and to step out into a high wind.'
'Cel: The Artist as Animator' is on display until Sunday 3 April 2022.
