Coming - Triangulation 2


A collaborative project by Julie Brooke & Susan Buret

Opening Friday 21 August 6-8pm
Open 11am - 5pm Friday - Sunday 22 Aug - 6 Sept 
Artists' talks - 2 pm on Sunday 6 September


Triangulation refers to a dialogue between Brooke and Buret that concerns not only the geometric forms with which they work, 
but also the mathematical process of using two fixed points to determine a new, unknown value.  Working two hundred
 kilometers apart, this dialogue often takes the form of intuitive responses to ideas expressed in emails and conversations, 
as well looking at and responding to works in progress.


In the summer of 2014 Brooke and Buret both began making work using the colours and forms of butterflies.  Brooke’s paintings
 arose from a collaboration with applied mathematicians who analyse complex structures inside butterfly wing scales, while
Buret’s work was informed by her observations of Blue Jewel butterflies, Hypochrysops delicia, in her garden.  Using the
 shared visual language of grids and geometric forms, Brooke and Buret explore the possibilities of tapestry, painting and
 modular constructions to establish the third point of the triangle.
