While design thinking is mostly creative problem solving, what if the answer to a specific set of problems is just 'to slow down,' says gallerist and curator Alex Tieghi-Walker, whose outfit TIWA Gallery just opened an exhibition, a tableau, a proposal from the high-priestess of lighting,'A lot of the shows here are nature inspired,' says Tieghi-Walker.
'I pretty much always was into electric,' she says with a laugh. But after experimenting over the last year with oil-based mobile lights, Adelman dove into practices that hark back to times so long ago. 'It’s been 6000 years of people using oil,' explains Adelman. 'So I was building upon so many rich traditions, and reinventing how we want to incorporate that now.
'I like this idea of personal altars,' says Adelman, signalling that using one’s own hand and taking a moment out of the day or night to ignite these lights is a 'ritualistic act.' She adds: 'The smallest moments of life end up being the biggest ones, so I wanted to make work that’s apt and minimalist but also mysterious and authentic.
The entire exhibition is ultimately evokes 'the idea of looking back to when we made things with a bit more care, and referencing periods when people put effort into making objects,' says Tieghi-Walker. 'Being British, I’m from an old part of the world and my general interest in craft and hand-made stems from traditional practices.' Adelman, too, sees these works as entry-point 'to shift how we navigate our lives in a different way.
