Grundy Art Gallery, Queen Street, Blackpool, FY1 1PU
28th October 2022 - 24th March 2023
This autumn, artist Fiona Grady has been invited to develop new work for Grundy's ongoing series of Forecourt Commissions. Illuminated From Within, is a site-responsive artwork that uses the forecourt's glass panels as a canvas. Working with mirrored gold and transparent coloured vinyl to create a vibrant geometric pattern that is inspired by research visits to Blackpool.
The result is an energetic artwork that depending on the direction and intensity of the sun produces an ever-changing display of colourful shadows. Activated by changes in the direction and intensity of daylight Grady's work quietly marks the passing of time whilst also providing a dynamic contribution to Grundy's 2022 season of light.
