CHRYSALIS is an animated meditation on metamorphosis – on how things are constantly becoming other things. The moon is waxing and waning, cells are dividing, babies growing and grubs becoming butterflies. Nick Wilson (Sound Fossil) brings to life Lachlan Plain’s rudimentary handcrafted animation with a mesmerizing composition for guitar and prayer bowl.
CHRYSALIS was created for City of Banyule’s Art in Public Spaces Program. In the winter of 2024, four large chrysalises were hung from the trees at Kitchener Reserve in Ivanhoe, Melbourne. As darkness descended they were illuminated from within by a symphony of light, projection, and sound.
The CHRYSALIS animation was created as part of Sanctum Studio’s FAE project, which was supported by Creative Victoria’s Creators Fund in 2024.
