With an interest in visualising invisible phenomena, Franziska Furter has regularly returned to the weather as a subject matter in her work over the past two decades.
The powerful force of nature is made tangible in Liquid skies/Gyrwynt (meaning ‘hurricane’ in Welsh), which depicts a composite of multiple infrared satellite images of hurricanes. Within these wild and colourful visualisations is a tension between the beauty of vibrant imagery and the destructiveness of the natural disaster it represents. The soft rug invites audiences to rest and consider our place within the landscape.
