This installation took place in the main gallery at Artspace Gallery, Peterborough. It was designed on the premise that coloured light helps us to see what light is doing in space, across form and surface, and over time.

The gallery space had three west and one east window - coloured glass panes were added, as well as several elements introduced to ‘make visible’ the play of light within the space. These included:
1) a ‘reflecting pool’ of plate glass on the floor in the centre of the space
2) galvanized metal frames mimicking the window frames (north wall),
3) painted ‘windows’ (south wall) in varying gloss levels (white on gray wall).

To a keen observer, a walk around the gallery space revealed many different ‘aspects of light’: the glow of ambient colour on walls near the windows; kinetic colour caused by the reflectivity of metal frames and gloss paint (and one’s movement in the space); the contrast between ‘soft’ and hard’ reflections on the wood floor and plate glass ‘pool’ respectively; coloured shadows generated by the metal frames and moving figures within the space; the changing location and size of projected light on walls, floors, stairs…

In the morning, the solitary east window projected light onto floor and walls - by noon, the projection was gone, leaving soft glowing colour on nearby surfaces.
Around 1 pm, the three west window projections began to surface on the north wall and the floor. By mid-afternoon, the space was activated by long stretches of coloured light reaching diagonally across the gallery space.

In late afternoon, as the west light became directly parallel to the north wall, the projections stretched out and magnified on the wall until only the northern window projection remained, stretched along the full length of the gallery wall, before gradually fading and disappearing for the night.
