A Pulsating Light Room of Multi-Layered Glass by Claudia Bueno
Step into Claudia Buenos aquarium-style installation at Meow Wolfs new space in Las Vegas and experience the slow, oscillating movements of natural life. Pulse is comprised of countless white line drawings that are meticulously intertwined and superimposed on 60 glass panels. When illuminated, they mimic scores of nautilus spirals, coral, vines, and botanics that sway and throb in glowing masses.
This is what Pulse is, a way of creating animated volumes using layers of drawings that build up. I have been refining this technique for the last six years, understanding how these forms can also have a moving quality when the light system is applied, the Venezuela-born artist says, noting that the idea for the project grew out of a visit to Yellowstone National Park.
During the course of eight months, a team of women painstakingly painted the glass panels at Buenos Idaho studio. The repetitive/meditative quality of the work lent itself to provide a very special healing space for us as we drew fine lines for hours and openly shared and supported each other, she says.
''It has been an interesting brain challenge to visualize a stack of 2D drawings that then become 3D and move. Its my own version of a non-digital, hand-drawn time-lapse or animation.''
