Sara Lydia Tuell, “Looking Up at the Surface,” 2023

In this exhibition of print and installation work, Tuell presents her thesis work as a Master of Fine Arts candidate at the University of Calgary.
The artworks explore abstract concepts in quantum physics through perceptual experience. An interactive installation using polarized film in the grand windows of Bow View Hall encourages the viewer to investigate their relationship with the quantum world. Meanwhile, on the ground floor, Tuell’s large-scale print work functions more like a Rorschach Test, enveloping and inviting the viewer to impress their own consciousness upon the work.
Tuell’s work intends to inspire curiosity and promote integration of the arts and sciences as a means of developing human knowledge, understanding and problem-solving in an age that demands creative solutions. The viewer need not be savvy to the complexities of quantum mechanics in order to discover and appreciate the beauty of light and nature: all that is required is to be a curious observer of the world.
