| These works are part of a one-man show
at the Glynn Vivian Museum in Swansea, shown between December
2005 and February 2006. The exhibition consists of three installations
where the transforming power of light is used to change our
perception of the small everyday objects that are often overlooked.
In Red Shift, 100 table tennis balls are lit with laser beams
to create a floating raft of glowing globes while the quality
of the laser light causes an interference pattern that causes
the eye focus beyond the object. Pinpoint I & II employ
16,500 coloured drawing pins in each image to create the illusion
of a digitised projection, embedded in the wall and illuminated
by a blank rectangle of light. In Crop, hundreds of plastic
cocktail stirrers pierce a false floor which conceals a network
of low energy lights. The plastic rods glow as they transmit
the light from below. A full catalogue of the exhibition is
available from The Glynn Vivian Museum or the artist.
