Artist
Lucy Carter
Composer
Paul Corely
In 2014 Lucy was invited to be the artist in focus for an Art and Music festival in Werdenberg in Switzerland.
She created lighting events throughout the castle and made a larger work F.LUX for the cellar in the castle. Collaborating with sound producer and composer Paul Corey, Carter created a light and sound work that evolved out of the theme of the festival; The Eternal Female.
Lucy created F.LUX, a large physical and light work, that emerged out of the fabric of the building, and was inspired by the history of the castle and its female residents from the past. 4 steel poles suspended in the air, disappearing into the walls of the cellar. The poles have slots along their length out of which a curtain of light emits and sculpts the hazy atmosphere. The poles rotate and over the 15min duration of the piece, the light and sound create a kinetic abstract narrative, scoring the walls of the cellar with light and sculpting the air with sound and light. Based upon an evolving relationship of 4 sisters over their lifetime, each pole takes on its own personality, the leader, the irritated overbearing one, the youngest dreamer and the follower. Exploring a continued obsession for Lucy, of using light and sound to create feeling and evoke narrative without text or physical bodies.
