Susie Green, Brilliancy Medley, 2007 |
33.
BRILLIANCY MEDLEY BY ECK ROBERTSON, 1930 REMIX: SUSIE GREEN, BRILLIANCY MEDLEY, 2007 Smith notes that “‘Eck’ Robertson was one of the pioneering rural recording artists.... His playing is quite archaic in its studied and exaltant formality, but the medley of traditional tunes is more suited to the popular dance steps of the 1920s than for the square dance.” Green responds directly to the concept of brilliance, “A medley of brilliance could be like heaven. Or it could be violently overwhelming. The solitary eye in the centre of the image is surrounded by oozing brilliance. It seems to float in it like a lost creature from the sea.” The repeated textures and swirls alongside the organic forms and geometric shapes are reminiscent of a dance watched from above, with a solitary character at the centre. Susie Green works in various media including film, photography, performance and collage. She is currently based in Newcastle upon Tyne, most recently choreographing a showcase of her work at the Star and Shadow Cinema. |
