It is composed of hundreds of everyday plastic objects that are transformed by light into a glowing, jewel-like, kaleidoscopic composition.
The work is paradoxical in that it elevates objects usually discarded into art, draws together sacred imagery with the profane, and while appearing beautiful – is composed of waste.
The work is both light and dark. The colourful, brightly lit work glows with a shiny optimism suggested by the rich colours and patterned surfaces; however there is an uneasiness suggested by the use of hundreds of plastic objects which darkens and undermines the imagery. This is intentional. The work deliberately juxtaposes imagery suggesting spiritual awe with commercial advertising, the immaterial with the material, and the sublime with the mundane.
