Gone and Goodnight

 

Wood, paint, plaster, Magic lantern slides, backlight film, and led lights

Tunbridge Wells Museum and Gallery commission, October 2013

Gone!!! and Goodnight are two illuminated folly sculptures responding to the Tunbridge Wells Museum collection of magic lantern slides. The work retains the rich diversity of the collection, placing images taken from different parts of the world side by side. Inspired by the local Georgian architecture, the work anthropomorphizes architecture to exaggerate the organic nature of buildings.
