This sculpture has several new elements that I need
to investigate, and at this stage I don’t know if I can achieve what I am
looking for.
Unlike the previous sculptures where I was looking
for the light, airy, delicate and almost weightless feel, this one doesn’t have
the look-through-holes and I want it to feel solid and dense. It is a Seed,
full of life potential, not an empty husk.
I know that no matter how much I try; there will be
the inevitable gaps between the clay tiles and the empty space inside will be
visible. I don’t want to create solid wall (like concrete) and grout the tiles
on… I still need to be able to move the sculpture without the heavy machinery,
so in looking for other options I started thinking about LED lights.
Not long
ago I attended the “show and tell” by company called Light Applications which
have designed lighting for many public art installations. I was intrigued and inspired
to include (if possible) some lights in my work….and so the idea of the LED
light “travelling” through the gaps in the tiles, reminiscent of the neurons
firing in the brain, started to take shape…
The first challenge is…I know frustratingly little
about lights. To me they are just magic to be enjoyed. Where do I start?
