TAIL LIGHT ( 2007 )

We spend a great deal of time behind vehicles, be it as a driver, passenger or cyclist. I became intrigued by the lenses covering vehicle lights – there complexity and beauty. I saw these lenses as lampshades for vehicle lights. The Tail light is created from carefully selected vehicle light lenses mainly from trucks, tractors and trailers. At present there are two versions or configurations, slim and fat. The selected lenses are grouped by style and size and attached to acrylic boxes to form robotic structures. The light structures are hung from the ceiling and illuminated by one 60w fluorescent white tube. When the vehicle lenses are illuminated they are reminiscent of stained glass.
