Plexus Projects is pleased to present a solo exhibition of work by Hunter Cole. Dancing with Light will be featured in Vitrine, an ongoing screening series of moving image artworks.

*Please note projections are viewed from the sidewalk. The project space is not open during Vitrine screen hours.

In Dancing with Light dancers dance by the light of bioluminescent bacteria with three themes involved in bioluminescence including communication, predator-prey relationships and mating. Music is based on DNA and protein sequence in the bioluminescent bacteria.

Internationally recognized, Hunter Cole’s art includes paintings, photography, digital art, and living art using bioluminescent bacteria. Cole is a member of the faculty of Loyola University New Orleans.
More recently, she has expanded the application and use of bioluminescent light to more complex works including figurative compositions (portraits; dancers). Some of her newer work depicts a keen interest in surreal imagery and symbolism.
