Kavan Balasuriya b. 1992

The artist uses aluminium foil to examine movement and stillness. Here, he makes
connections and contentions that challenge the experience of perception. He etches and engraves the foil, resulting in visual effects and optical illusions. Kavan draws from architecture in using the 'site' of foil as a 'field' to generate compositions. He traces its folds and textures to form the basis of his images. These actions turn the medium into a pattern generator, where each repetition differs. Kavan uses it to explore the nuance and animateness between space, matter, and the human mind.
