Magnetic liquid

Serosity by Alistair Moncur

In this fabulous video, Moncur creates liquid patterns reminiscent of cells, spawn, molluscs and algae. I love the colours, movement and transitions.

What Alistair says about his video:

‘Using ferrofluid and water colours Serosity is a video showing the small minute details of the wonderfully enticing look that can be created when you apply a magnet to bring the liquid alive. The sphere in each image is slightly larger than a 1p coin.’

A Japanese connection

I have only just come across the new dance prescriptions for 2015 HSC study and was absolutely delighted to see that Sue Healey’s work Fine Line (2003) has been chosen as a core study. I worked with Sue at UNSW and have followed her dance video work for the longest time, valuing her input into teacher professional development in the medium.

I’m looking forward to featuring Sue’s work on Dancing Capital.

I’ve just been on Sue’s website and on her Vimeo site and found this gem, which relates to my visual arts practice.

So many of the images and ideas in this work resonate with my recent travels in Japan. In response, here is a slideshow of some of our Japan snaps.
