Melt \ Kathryn Maguire \ Ireland. #shortfim see it in seconds.
An alarm clock is encapsulated in a block of ice, suspended by a chain. Originally performed as a sound piece, the melting water drips into a copper vessel , amplified by a contact microphone. The sound created resonates as if in a cave due to the acoustic characteristics of the copper vessel, while the alarm clock - an object from the everyday – is frozen and framed in a ritual where time passes yet stays still.
Kathryn Maguire is a visual artist based in Dublin, Ireland. She has a BA in Fine Art Sculpture and a MA in Art in the Contemporary World. She is a non-medium specific artist her working methodology varies with each project. These medias include glass, bronze, ice, cellotape, public grafitti, photography, text, video, sound and mirror. She has approached themes such as socio-urban history, psychogeography, voyeurism, exhibitionism, intimacy, seduction, loss and belonging.
