‘Gail Catlin is the first artist in the world to exploit Liquid Crystal as the basis for her artistic creation. This highly sensitive, scientific, substance responds immediately to changing intensities of temperature and light with dramatic shifts in colour, reflectivity and sheen. Thereby it has enabled Gail to create a constantly changing live pictorial surface. Its dynamic chromatic and luminary mutations inject added visual drama and excitement to the artist’s chosen themes – the life of the isolated African desert, the burning sun, the landscape, the huge variety of wildlife and the endless cycles of hunting, killing and devouring.’ Editor’s note.’
