Through yellow light (2026) Exeter Phoenix
Installation for Exeter Phoenix Gallery 333.Β Contrasting feelings of longing and nostalgia, with geological time, the title references a popular nostalgia for the yellow light produced by both car headlights and streetlights before their replacement with cold white LEDs; and the yellow light through which ancient organic matter preserved within fossilised tree resin is seen and remembered. In an apparent rejection of this modernity, the headlamp now becomes a makeshift lightbox, once again emitting a yellow glow, the matter enshrined within the amber-like material, illuminated in stasis for perpetuity.
