Liquid Light: Shield No 1, 2013
VIC, AUSTRALIA
Acrylic, Canvas, Timber & Pins
180 x 280 cm
In Liquid Light: Shield No 1, Marion Borghelt invites us to enter a luminous dance between form and light - a shimmering interplay that moves beyond the canvas, spilling softly into the space around us. The work pulses with a vibrant energy, where acrylic pigments flow and settle like liquid glass, held gently yet firmly by the structured embrace of timber and pins.
Borghelt’s mastery lies in her ability to capture the ephemeral - moments of shifting light, reflections, and the subtle echoes of nature’s translucence - translating them into a tactile shield of protection and openness. This piece is not merely seen; it is felt, as layers of colour and texture meld in a quiet symphony, inviting contemplation and connection.
