Ron Esplin “Barock” Digital art $1200
An interpretation of dance, conveyed by multiple images of Barbie dolls. Inspired by the dance project of Barbara Snook, the Otago University Caroline Plummer Fellow 2008.
Multiple photographs were downloaded to a computer and manipulated to produce the ethereal images in the finished work. The unanimity is achieved by accentuating the linearity of each individual image by representing them almost like a platoon of dancers represented in four lines of eight so the work is taller than it is wide. The individuality of dancers is represented by the variety of poses.
