Artist-in-Residence: Nisha Bansil

Nisha Bansil’s work is an exploration of pattern, form, and structure. Living in the woods, she is inspired by observations made in her environment, such as light and shadow in the trees and plants, decay and growth in the life cycles on the forest floor, and the progress of time in the geology of the area. She collects evidence of these cycles through skins, bones, mushrooms, leaves, rocks, and fossils.

During her October 2016 residency at The Studio, she focused on casting standing wave patterns created by the resonant frequencies of glass. “Resonance is particularly interesting because everything in our observable universe vibrates at its own unique frequency,” she says. “When stimulated externally the oscillations become large and can be observed.”
Bansil used the time to explore and understand the visual connections between the patterns created by this phenomena, and the patterns created by sacred geometry.

This is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen! I have always been fascinated by the way that music and sound vibrations affect things, and to see this incorporated in art like this blows my mind!

I'm fundamentally a glass "blower", but I found this video fascinating.

A little meandering, but I think she's on to something
