I’m a big fan of Rebecca Baumann’s work. Last year I loved her Automated Colour Field at ACCA, an installation of 100 flip clocks with pages of coloured paper. This was a beautiful contemplative artwork, constantly changing as the coloured pages randomly flipped over. In November last year I saw her golden curtain of tinsel, Untitled Cascade, animated by a small domestic fan, at West Space. It reminded me of a theatrical curtain or a backdrop from a cheesy TV game show. She’s also created a confetti machine and used exploding balloons filled with confetti and coloured smoke bombs in her installations. Her work is really fun and beautiful and she’s interested in the relationship between colour and emotion.

Love it! Makes me happy! I loved that the guys in art forum a couple of weeks ago were involved with changing the flip clock mechanisms from battery operation to be powered. It was great to then see the colour field artwork in a residential situation.
YES! Very fun 🙂
This work is amazing perhaps introducing movement into your work could be a new direction…
Have you seen this artwork on the commercial for the iPad (I think). Imagine the coverage she is getting now!! “Well done Rebecca Bauman”
