2013, 20 Bond Street, Liquid Light: Horizontal Triptych Nos. 3 & 4
About the Liquid Light Series:
An interactive element is frequently employed in Borgelt’s oeuvre. It is keenly felt in the cut canvas works of the Liquid Light Series where a new level of complexity is exhibited. Their potency is fully realized only when the viewer considers the work from several angles. Liquid Light’s meticulously folded strips glow vividly, forming shapes that appear to lift out and levitate above the canvas. As one moves along, the vibrant hues shift to create shapes of varying brilliance and intensity.

With her customary skill in manipulating materials and mediums, Borgelt has found the ideal means of expressing abstract concepts. The full, mesmerising effect of the cut canvas works in the Liquid Light series is only evident when the viewer moves around the work, this movement itself evoking the orbits of the planets. The fine, intricate strips are cut in such a way that with every incremental movement, the image shifts and changes.
