Orbit Intersect
.
acrylic and pencil lines on wood construction, 31x66x5.5cm, 2025
My research traces the phenomenology of space—the subtle ways perception constructs and reconstructs spatial experience within the mind’s eye. Orbit Intersect, built on two archetypal forms—the rectangle and the circle—brings them into layered dialogue for the first time.
The work unfolds as a choreography of shifting readings, where each viewpoint reveals a different spatial truth. These transitions invite an active, mobile viewing, making perception itself part of the work’s structure. Measured yet dynamic, precise yet open-ended, Orbit Intersect investigates how form can inhabit, extend, and activate the surrounding space—transforming the wall into an active field and the viewer’s movement into a catalyst for spatial discovery.

Luna Gui is a multidisciplinary artist based in Sydney, Australia, working at the intersection of painting, object-making, and installation. Influenced by post-minimalist and formalist traditions, her practice investigates spatial perception through constructed forms and a reduced visual language. Her recent work approaches painting as object—precise geometries, subtle tonal shifts, and sculptural surfaces extending into physical space. Line, shape, and edge function as spatial events: moments of tension, transition, and architectural rhythm. Often site-responsive, her process-driven, iterative practice is shaped by building, observing, and adjusting, with each work emerging from—and opening into—a continuum of inquiry between form, environment, and perception.
