Artwork notes

A single standard tube becomes an intervention in the wall.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Standard fluorescent tubes and metal fixtures are the working materials.

Marks and structure

Simple repeated alignments can reorganise the architecture around them.

Palette and light

Emitted light colours surfaces and viewers; this is different from painted pigment.
