Blue Blue Electric Blue was exhibited at the Canberra Grammar Gallery, 2011.

Blue Blue Electric Blue explores ideas of synaesthesia and the interwoven nature of sensory experiences. Taking its name from a David Bowie lyric, the works in this exhibition use the visual qualities of texture, light and colour (blue in particular), to engage with the enigma of sound, music and sensuality, and the sublime experience of being immersed in sound and vision.

This exhibition was awarded to Claire Pendrigh by the Canberra Grammar Gallery at the ANU School of Art graduating show of 2009 as part of the Emerging Artist Scheme.
