My icons do not raise up the blessed savior in elaborate cathedrals. They are constructed concentrations celebrating barren rooms. They bring a limited light.
It is what it is and it ain't nothin' else... Everything is clearly openly plainly delivered.
Realizing this I knew that the actual space of a room could be broken down and played with by planting illusions of real light (electric light) at crucial junctures in the room's composition.
I like my use of light to be openly situational in the sense that there is no invitation to meditate to contemplate.
Electric light is just another instrument. I have no desire to contrive fantasies mediumistically or sociologically over it or beyond it.
A piece of wall can be visually disintegrated from the whole into a separate triangle by plunging a diagonal of light from edge to edge on the wall; that is side to floor for instance.
One might not think of light as a matter of fact but I do. And it is as I said as plain and open and direct an art as you will ever find.
