AMY LONGWORTH
Words by Madeline Stack
One gets the impression that it must be exhausting being Amy Longworth. The Brisbane-based artist has her fingers in many pies, working across installation, drawing, collage, sculpture and video and collaborating with the fashion, music and film worlds. Filed under the rather ambiguous umbrella of ‘new media’, Longworth’s large-scale projections and installations create immersive environments providing endless scope for interactions with tangible and intangible space. They are both seductive and entrapping, drawing you into a vortex of light and colour which can soon become disorienting. Participants are invited to explore these spaces, dizzying in their range of angles and fluorescent colour lit under black lights.
