Description/Abstract:

Produced for Bite Size, an International group-touring exhibition of miniature textiles devised by Prof Lesley Millar Black Lace, Dark Space, is hybrid art work. A fragment of 20th Century black silk Chantilly lace embedded on metal disk, thinly coated with ionized gold particles is presented meticulously prepared for a Scanning Electron Microscopy imaging system. Conceived and displayed as a gold scientific relic, the fixed Chantilly lace sample represents the enduring material residue of the proceeding Black Lace film installation project. The work alludes to the procedural methods of the non-optical, dark space imaging process, the unusual characteristics of silk and the creative visualisation methods common to art and science. The work draws audiences to the creative, transformative methods of art and science suggesting how matter is transformed from one substance to another.
