interior ligthning





Created for the first group show by staff working at The Hepworth Wakefield this piece took four and a half days to install using nine balls of acrylic wool, and that time again to raise my arms above my head without wincing. Interior Lightning included painting, photography, drawing, sculpture, intervention and installation.

My intervention was inspired by Hepworth's use of string within particular sculptures and a desire to play with an illusion of colour mixing in space. This work continues my fascination with elevating cheap materials using time consuming processes. People responded positively to this work and I'd love to create an adventurous intervention in a larger space.
