4 March – 15 April 2017, Main Art Gallery
This exhibition represents a selection of Nora Fok’s work from the past six years and was commissioned by the Harley Gallery. Her work examines the interaction between art and science. Mathematics and the three dimensional structures underlying life’s natural forms are the starting points for these new series. The resulting pieces occupy territory between bodywear and sculpture. There will be three themes: Exploring Flax which led her to develop a new thread combining nylon and flax; Magic of Nature this section shows the latest pieces resulting from Nora’s continuing fascination with natural forms and the ability of nylon threads; and New Forms, New Technologies where she uses 3D printing to create sculptural forms strongly influenced by the mathematical/structural philosophy of Buckminster Fuller.
