West Park, Wolverhampton I was commissioned by PACA (Public Art Commission Agency) to make several light installations in West Park, Wolverhampton. Working with artists Mark Anderson, Nick Sales, Kirsten Reynolds and Jony Easterby, I made a series of installations including writing the sentence in luminescent letters under the water of a lake: Madam Curie’s notebooks were so impregnated with radio-activity that if you place photographic film between the pages and develop it, her ghostly finger prints swim into view. In another work I invited everyone involved in the project, including the park keepers, to place their face in a back-lit sugar mould to leave their glowing faces in a greenhouse making multiple reflections. I also asked a local group of model remote-controlled helicopter enthusiasts to attach pyrotechnic waterfalls to their models hovering over the lake. The fuses were electronically ignited so a waterfall appeared to lift out of the lake. |
