The Revival of Light
LED light, oak, thread and reclaimed plastic

A data-driven sculpture finds its form directly from statistical information. Here, the UK's Recycling Rates of Light Bulbs and LED's become the source of information that draws the body of the art piece. The suspended and illuminated sculpture not only acts as a record of our environmental efforts between 2014-2021, but introduces 'light' as material, and that our association with it can be a responsible and ongoing process - not a temporary need.
