Our senses divide the world into different dimensions. Objects have a familiar shape and form. Up and down. North and South. Past and future. Flat and three-dimensional. Beginning and end. But do these dimensions exist within nature itself? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nature contains a certain multiplicity beyond human awareness, which through analogies we can begin to perceive. Seen from above, glaciers branch like raindrops on a car window. Within our everyday world, forms crystallize and repeat in large and small ways, within the landscapes of river beds and moss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet Lil\u00fd Erla is not satisfied with drawing parallels. She compels us to perceive between dimensions and break down the boundaries between the senses - The way a soft texture can imply hard, barren ground. The way colors dissolve into small threads, connecting light and sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the basis of Lil\u00fd Erla\u00b4s work is thread. Between these threads is a multiplicity that can produce a special light. From there, the approach to the artwork plays a key role. Questions such as where the viewer stands when experiencing the work, whether a photograph is taken - the depths are teeming, and it is there in which the nature of her chosen threads lies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201e\"It's amazing how much light these small threads can bring to the work<\/em>\", Lil\u00fd Erla explains. She chooses fine threads in different pigments to call upon this effect. The canvas is strung vertically and she wields a Tuft gun powered by a powerful air compressor. Fibers break down when the threads are cut. Dust swirls in the air and noise echoes in the studio. Pressure and noise, the forces of nature at work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But when a quiet settles into the work, they come to life. How? Stand still and come close to the work, from different sides. Notice in your experience a subtle thread that the eye cannot quite capture until you come closer. You are about to be drawn into new worlds - into the multiplicity between realms.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00cd gegnum skynf\u00e6ri okkar brotnar heimurinn upp \u00ed v\u00edddir.
