Cage Shadows

Jony Easterby, UK

The cages are empty and the birds have flown leaving the shadows to keep us entranced. Two different coloured LEDs are mounted on slowly moving cams to create dynamic and contrasting shadows forming a new architecture of space and form.

Jony Easterby presents a collection of works featuring animated landscapes sourced from grassland and forest, hedgerows, bonsai trees given the gift of scale, woodland sprites and slomo flying creatures. The audience is invited to follow a trail of installations that fill the park with a series of ethereal electronic animated encounters with the natural world.

For Jony the contrast of darkness and light is the very essence of life and creativity. Ruled by brightness and shadows: day and night, winter and summer, sunshine and clouds. His work reflects not only his passion for the natural world alongside his anxiety for its uncertain ecological future.
