“A scintillation of particles and waves”
Leslie Eastman and Michael Graeve

How may light assume a volume through colour and intensity, and how may sound become a projected volume that can be touched or felt?
Working with the mediums of light and sound this collaboration emphasises a physical and poetic dimension to these elemental aspects of sensory experience. These phenomena are formed into an encounter with the pleasure of colour sensation and the felt shape of sound, touching on the visible and invisible cosmology of experience.
Sound is worked into an acoustically shaped space, traversed by the material of light. Radiating and immersing, condensing and expanding, focusing and reflecting. A crossing of paths, a charged modulation.
Leslie Eastman and Michael Graeve graduated from RMIT in 1995 at a time when painting persistently expanded into space and into other mediums.
Leslie’s work uses light to rethink conditioned perceptions of the world. Leslie has shown internationally, and at venues such as ACCA, Linden, Experimenta, Gertrude Contemporary. He is a senior lecturer in the Department of Fine Art at Monash University.
Michael Graeve works across painting and sound disciplines. He is the chair of Liquid Architecture, was program manager at West Space (2000-04), and lectures at RMIT University. He has been a Samstag Scholar and exhibits and performs internationally.
