The Shell
Wellington 2012
Isobel Dryburgh and Lydia FIne
Ten video screens of domestic activity combine their sound-scapes to create an overwhelming impression of the sea: feet on a wooden floor become the lapping of waves on the shore, sherbert on a tongue becomes the fizz of sea foam. The Shell pays homage to the water mass that greets us at our shores, performing the ocean in a poetic play between moving image and sound.
Isobel Dryburgh and Lydia Fine are a young duo working together from opposite sides of the globe. Lydia resides in New York and Isobel in New Zealand, they met while working together on a film in New York in 2009. Both are artists and work with intermedia, collaborative and live performances, together they are creating a work that harnesses some of what lies between them, the sea.
