Constellations

Constellations a recent grouping of 16mm colour silent blowups by Super 8 artist Helga Fanderl returns us to the natural world whose beauty has been observed and rendered with a profound curiosity a patient gaze and an extraordinary ability to capture visual patterns and textures Whether following at close range the semicircular motion of a handsome pacing leopard its spots evoking rhythmic patterns through Fanderls intuitive shooting process or closely studying a tray of glassware on a ship as the sea reflects and refracts through the crystalline shapes the artist fully gives herself over to the present moment and allows us to bask in it
