Glistre is a series of works which explores temporality and materiality through expanded painting and minimalist abstraction. Celebrating the quiet value of everyday observations of sunlight and the architectural environment in inner-city Brisbane, Jo transforms these observations into objects, expanding and extending their nature and lifespan. She is fascinated by the inherent qualities of natural light and how it changes through encounters with different materials like plexiglass and glass. At the same time, she is interested in the emotional resonance of these interactions, their ability to shift perception or mood. Each work offers viewers a moment of visual decompression, perceptual openness and an invitation to reflect on how our experience of light moving is our experience of living.
