Light as a tool for excavation: Creation through the act of removal

Interference. Light. Shape. Shadow. Window. Photograph. Line.

A unique human map

A uniquely human object in it's pointlessness.  
Creation for the sake of creativity. 
A map of the movement of a human hand according to predetermined and recorded patterns. 

What will I do with you next?







A multitude of legs...





Spreading their industry across the world...



The initial inspiration for this shape came from a visit to the Albert Hall, for a special screening of Singing in the Rain accompanied by a live orchestra. There is one scene which stood out for me as a singular, incongruous shot in contrast to the rest of the film. A line of disembodied legs, adorned with high heels dancing the Can Can, lit up against a glittering lime green background.
