Artist in Residence – Edge by Luke George
- - |
- Good Chemistry | Ace Hotel Sydney
- 47-53 Wentworth Ave.
Last year, @lukeandgeorge spent a few weeks with us in residence. Working with chartreuse-coloured rope and pressed clay bricks salvaged from demolished structures, Luke tied and suspended a group of sculptures that materialise tension, weight and movement on the edge of a breaking point.
“Sometimes when I was hanging out in my temporary home of room 1315, taking in the view of all the other high-rises squished together, my body experienced a very unnatural sensation of being situated at a great height, yet in a state of total comfort. Hovering. Held high up in space by iron and bricks working in perfect unison of forces to hold itself, me and the hundreds of other hotel guests safely in suspended luxury.”
See Luke’s work in Good Chemistry now till the end of February.
