Pulse

In ‘Pulse’ 2019 Baker has begun to experiment with the moving image, projecting segments of video onto multiple slabs of sinewy glass. The distorted image of performer Leeanna Walsman slips across a frosty mass of coloured glass shards (totalling over one hundred in number) via a single channel video. A soundtrack of hollow knocking accompanies the sculptural and video elements and makes it seem as though Walsman is trapped inside the glass fragments. A poetic exploration of loss, spirituality and the physical boundaries of the human body, the slivers of glass capture the light and shadows within the space like a crystalline whirlwind momentarily paused.
