Fire Vita 1 - Prints

$ On Inquiry

Ceramic print on glass. Fire Vita 1 expresses fire as an energetic and dynamic force that moves across the landscape. The graphic representation is portrayed with energy and vibrational rhythm which undulates in density. From a distance, the graphic more clearly evokes a fire front, flames or smoke. Whilst close-up the graphic expresses this energy more abstractly. By utilising the clear double glazing to duplicate the graphic a moiré effect is created, particularly as one moves around the work, to further reinforce the vitality of fire.

My work explores place, memory, identity and custodianship through design and public art.

Penelope Forlano is a spatial designer and public artist with a special interest in the mnemonic and emotional experience of public and private artifacts. Her recent doctoral research examined emotionally enduring artifacts, and how to evoke custodianship in the user through a design anthropology approach. She has over 20 years of practice as an award-winning artist, furniture, and interior designer. Her work has been exhibited widely including at 100% Design (London), CraftACT, The John Curtin Gallery, FORM, and a solo show at the esteemed Salone Satellite - Milan International Furniture Fair in 2004. She received the prestigious Australian Design Award (2006), and in 2011 her ‘Terrain’ table was acquired for permanent collection by the Art Gallery of WA. She has completed multiple public artworks for private and government bodies.
