Peacock

230 x 810 x 80mm

Kiln formed, leaded glass

When unlit, the fragmented border of this lightbox reflects ambient light at various angles creating a natural twinkling effect across the surface. This contrasts with the depth of colour in the peacock eyes which is most intense when lit.

I Remember Long Nights

Conceived as a visual metaphor for hip hop, hundreds of lyrics have been screenprinted onto the glass. The interlacing of imagery, text and internal reflections between layers suggest the structure of this music.
