Summer Exhibition Guide 2016

TABULA RASA BY PLUME: Plume is the Birmingham based artist collective featuring Ernest Otoo and Andy Pilsbury. Plume artwork focuses on organic processes which are predominately presented through digital media in order to create visually stunning work. The works featured in IN:SIGHT come from Plume’s successful Tabula Rasa project, a multifaceted art project combining high-speed photography, moving images and ethereal soundscapes to create surreal flourishing landscapes. Their work is a voyeuristic look at the hypnotic behaviour of different coloured inks in water. Plume say: “The process starts with getting all the lighting set up around the fshtank. After cleaning to make sure we don’t pick up any blemishes, it’s flled with water. Then Ernest drops the inks in and builds a composition while Andy starts shooting. The fnal stage involves vetting the images to select what we want for a collection then some slight re-touching to enhance the images and bring out colours and vibrancy.”
