Floral Symphony: Natures Tapestry in Sight and Sound
Floral Symphony: Nature’s Tapestry in Sight and Sound (2024) is a biomorphic, immersive experience that repurposes found materials and images. Presented to viewers as a 2-dimensional organism, it grows from the confines of various formerly-living 3 dimensional objects through abstract sculpture and animation. Creating a conjunction of organic and synthetic materials, Floral Symphony transforms a windowless, indoor room into a space of
familiarity; presenting an eternal swamp landscape for viewers to envelop in.
Similar to organic organisms, the installation is temporary and will never be reincarnated in the same way. Bianca Artemida Nam is a Canadian artist based in Mulmur, Ontario, whose practice focuses on the reuse of images and concepts from previous practices, and regenerating them into new artworks each time. Her work is influenced by outdoor scenery, combining both artificial and biological textiles while simultaneously demonstrating a metamorphosis of analogue and digital media. Nam’s installations are large scale collages that amalgamate unorthodox materials used in the expanded drawing and painting field. Mediums in
this exhibition include looped animated collages, tree branches, synthetic yarn, pressed flowers, light, and sound. This exhibition displays four sculptures and two animated projections created exclusively for this room. Beyond its visual appearance, Nam alludes to a reimagined abstract marshland scene, using naturalistic sounds and color schemes to achieve this. Floral Symphonies poses viewers towards a harmonic segue of expansive ways to imagine nature and technology used in artistic practices.
