I’m Pulse is a solo exhibition by Blenheim-based ceramic artist, Fran Maguire. This ceramic wall installation responds to the concept of population and explores theories of evolution, genetics, ecology and communication.
The exhibition features several hundred ceramic ‘cells’ arranged in a grid-like format across the walls of the gallery. These concave or convex forms are individualised with graphic designs that mimic physical sensations such as pulses and vibrations. The design of each cell implies that it is part of, or relies on something else. As a whole work, I’m Pulse becomes a resonating field of transmitters and receivers that reflect the complex inter-relationship of matter at a micro and macro level.
