Steel and neon

A temporary installation. Optical illusions were the starting point and an 'orrery' which is mechanical model of the solar system was created. Two sculptures can be spun by the viewer and become hypnotic as they spin and create shadows as the light passes through them. The neon sculpture has chasing lights to give the illusion that the work was spinning.
This work has also been shown at Kallida Festival at Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden.and as part of Lumen School of Light at Ugly Duck in Bermondsey.
