'Candle/light (Memorial) 2008'

A comment on progress and technology using the simple example of the candle and it's (indirect) replacement by the light bulb. It serves as a memorial to the incandescent light bulb in a time where they are being slowly phased out and being replaced by more efficient technologies.

VINCENZO DI MARIA

'Mr Plug'

The thoughtless act we do everyday, when we switch on a lamp, that little sparkle we create which runs through the cables before illuminating, invisible, faster than our eyes, an energy able to change our perception of space. In it's complete transparency 'Mr Plug' freezes this dynamic flow of electricity. The bulb is gone but the light still surrounds us.

LEWIS HAYWARD

'Irregular Choice'

Investigating on several fronts at the same time, working through a series of routes that all deal in his primary source material: light and dark, using the meachanical process of the camera as if it was an active participant in the image displays.

CAROLINE LAMBARD

'Transition Plane'

An Installation exploring the effect of light and shade of a 3D environment and the point of transition. The introduction of the thin plane, a relatively minimal pysical form introduces dramatically contrasting atmospheres into the same room.

JAYNE LLOYD

'Housing Light'

Exploring the containment of the subconscious, the unknown or the creative in the everyday. The obscure glowing centres housed in the chair forms allude to the impossibility of seperating ourselves from the world as we can ultimately only experience it through self. They create a space within a space suggesting inhabitation much like a litwindow.

ADRIAN NAVARRO

'White Light'

Adrian is obsessed with representing something as specific and intangible as light in all his works. White light depicts the space his figures are livinhg in; they are trapped in this virtual space eternally confined within certain limits.

SILVIU PASCALIN

Short film 'Born from the dark'

Since we were children, we are fascinated by light and everything moving around us. Silviu has tried to bring out this particular fascination using his work. Even though sometimes we are too busy and we don't have enough time for ourselves we find it really important to receive these moments .

SUZAN SWALE

'Tell me no more lies'

The work is a progression from previous work, a painting about Iraq. The red suggests danger, blood and passion. The idea/source material for her work is often an image in the media, a sentence someone said, aline from a book, a photo or headline in a newspaper or a scene in a film that triggers inspiration.

MATTHEW SWIFT

'Walls'

Responding to the space by building free standing structures out of translucent bricks. Lighting these mini-edifices from within and behind will make them glow, standing out in sharp contrast to the solid brick room enclosing them describing a built environment undergoing a process of renewal.

ANDREA TYRIMOS

'Back to Black

'Andrea's work is concerned with the representation of artifical light phenomena in paint. She has a fascination with the paradoxes of representing light in a physical substance and does so by combining gestural marks with wet-in-wet techniques.
