Artist Statement
Plunkett Mallee Disco is a multimedia installation that explores the merging of traditional and digital art forms. Cynthia creates a dynamic animation of her oil painting process using stop motion and digital manipulation. The animation is an abstract display of moving colour as well as a regenerating kaleidoscope of images which reimagine the ephemeral beauty of light filtering through the leaves of the Plunkett Mallee tree, Ipswich City’s floral emblem, into a dazzling and spectacular light show.
