Moonlight
Join the Alberta Craft Calgary Gallery in celebrating their newest SPOTLIGHT exhibition by Natali Rodrigues
Moonlight with Natali Rodrigues (Associate Professor, Glass and BFA '99, Glass) explores the various stages of change, employing mitosis both as a metaphor and a method of production. It also challenges the traditional belief that time and change are adversarial forces. Rather, it positions them as integral components of existence, akin to moonlight that casts ethereal shadows, thereby illuminating the transformative processes inherent in life.
Natali Rodrigues is an Associate Professor in the Glass Program at the Alberta University of the Arts. Her research investigates the experience of liminal space and transformative experience, which finds voice through two distinct making practices: drawing and glass. Her working methodology moves between a meditative and profoundly physical making practice. Her work attempts to create a system of cartography of liminal space, where what is marked is not in reference to the physical but rather the transformative.
