A New Dawn

(2019)
LEDs, Filters
120cm x 120cm

A depiction of the sun rising and clearing the morning fog.

Within the LED tubes you see the orange sun peaking through swirling clouds. Between the LEDs you see bands of color which represent the evaporation of the morning mist due to the rising temperature.

The brightness levels are controlled so that the sun appears in the background and the technical indication of the temperature rising sits in theforeground.

Exhibited:
“Speaking Power to (Post) Truth” curated by Sara Raza at Jane Lombard Gallery, New York
