Vertical strings of vibrant light form five tall columns along a sandstone wall, each glowing a different colour. The hundreds of strings flicker, creating a shimmering light show that sometimes makes the columns look solid, and sometimes virtual.
Ethereal Columns explores the possibility of a colonnade without solidity, without weight to bear. The work is architectural: bold and imposing, it appears to carry its burden with grandeur. However, as the columns of light dance and flicker, the colonnade reveals itself as a structure without mass — and the columns transition into the ethereal.
