Information
Spectral Nation – Ambient Haze
Improvised screen-printed monotypes, sonic translations
On display are new works from Spectral Nation’s ‘Eraze Phaze’, and ‘Ambient Haz’e series, accompanied by audio arrangements created in response by selected electronic musicians. Also on show are collaged compositions using ‘byproduct’ masking papers, usually a discarded part of the process.
The screen-printed monotype works Eraze Phaze use an amalgam of techniques, in an improvised manner, with no fixed outcome. Hand pulled raw gestural first passes collide with smoother blended gradients. Layers of hand cut masking stencils clash and combine with discordant colour combinations, building texture and creating visual tension in increasingly complex and psychedelic scenes.
The Ambient Haze series are meditations on colour. Using a diffusion dither stencil technique to build up layers of gradients, expansive colour interactions arise. The half way line providing a reference point alluding to a horizon. As sound and image combine, rhythmic structures within the sound works find visual echoes in the screen printed compositions, these audio progressions evoke chromatic depth. Within these sonic landscapes boundaries of perception become warped, colour vibrates and sound manifests as a visual texture.
