LAMBENT
Natural and synthetic materials, solar lighting and phosphorescent paint
As we emerge from this time of pandemic and lockdowns, of political unrest and racial reckoning, what will we have become? As beings of stardust the light is carried within us always, and after our period of isolation comes a release of new life. Soon, I hope, creatures of light will emerge in lambent, glowing, gleaming, flickering radiance. Inspired by the natural world and the process of complete metamorphosis, these sculptures draw on the forms of holometabolous insects, whose transformation is complete, yet they retain a memory of who they were before. Will we do the same?
