Jonathan Jones and Sriwhana Spong -
Moving Light
Moving Light brings together Sydney artist Jonathan Jones
and Auckland artist Sriwhana Spong in an exploration of
their use of light and darkness – in all its guises. From
their engagement with elements of lighting and with popular
culture to their critique of postcolonial issues, Jones and
Spong share an attitude towards the use of space and objects
as well as a conceptual positioning. Referencing their
respective cultural backgrounds (Jones - Kamilaroi/Wiradjuri
and Spong - Balinese) their works represent the collusion,
or perhaps the blending, of worlds illuminated by the
Balinese shrine, popular culture, the common fluoro tube and
Aboriginal line patterns. |

central to her interpretation processes. This solo
exhibition brings together a significant number of strands
and components of her practice, offering an overview of
