light matter







light matter is the most recent commission for creative cohesion studios, in the regenerated sunnyside area of sunderland.
the sculpture was made from white argon filled tubes, handmade porcelain globes, with a single streak of red neon. it takes inspiration from the molecular structure of carbon, the element that unites all living things in the known universe.



the video documenting the installation of the piece was produced by mynamesdan and comprises of 1739 individual photographs at two frames a piece. photographs were taken during and leading up to the installation and include some making processes and a tractor, that somehow found it's way into the river tyne just outside my studio.

while light matter is a permanent installation, this week is the last chance to see banish the blues. the exhibition features my new and recent neon and mixed media works, alongside comic book art by p.r.e.s.s. and runs until saturday 26th of feb at creative cohesion.
