£0.00
Sumi Perera is an interdisciplinary artist, academic, curator & adjudicator who makes print installations. Exploiting her background as a doctor & scientist born in Sri Lanka & living & working in UK, she makes interactive multimodular works that generate sound(electroconductive-inks), mutate in colour(thermochromic-inks) and illuminate in the dark (fluorescent/UV filaments/torch).
In the multimodular works, she often hands over the editorial control to the curator/gallerist/display-team to play with the sequence or alignment to configure how best to hang it to fit into any given space. Her work can contract or expand, lines drawn out of the framed confines (with permission) to convert into an in situ installation blending in with its surroundings. She either intervenes herself of provides instructions to others to complete the drawn lines, or the strung threads.
