Sensorial

Sensorial is the product of a collaboration of sight and sound between violinist Niki Vasilakis & painter Claire Foord. The work itself is a direct response to a 30 minute composition of an 8 movement violin concerto. Claire's piece was unveiled, as part of The Adelaide Fringe show of the same name. This was through a stop motion production of over 100 hours work condensed into a digital performance throughout Niki's live performance. The artwork was influenced by the music with movement, colours, shapes and even the way the brush was held taken into consideration as layer upon layer of shade and light danced across the canvas which saw Sensorial evolve into a beautiful mess of residual lines, still visible through the paintings surface.
