Description:
This series is intended to show the capricious and whimsical nature of light produced by the noble gasses: argon and neon. I refer to this as "rare light." In this piece, "Escape," the light which was trapped in the box is disintegrating the box which is unable to contain it. At one level, the relationship between light and any object is seen in this piece. On a subtler level, the light is seen as having an effect on the box which is at once destructive and transformative. The box, having "trapped" the light, is disintegrating and is deconstructing itself as it melts away. At the same time, as the light escapes, the material of the box is being drawn towards it and following behind it (like a plant growing in the direction of light).
