This body of work from 1988 dealt with my fascination with the recurring light forms found within my bedroom of the house in which I was living in at the time.

Working with the old notion of images as “mirrors” as opposed to “windows” I wanted to try to reflect an emotional sparsity and static coldness contrasted with the warmth and fluidity of the changing light forms which ritually visited the room. I also wanted to reflect feelings of entrapment and containment whether physical or emotional.

The exhibition comprised a sequence of 35 images. The original images were made on Kodak Kodachrome transparency film and then, to give the rich warmth that I needed, printed on Cibachrome photographic paper, which unfortunately is no longer in production.
