ensemble 9

By  Jonathan Gabb 2015
Through a combination of direct and complex working and positioning of materials, this work is about incorporating the appearance of light as a material presence. Acting as a bridge or a contradiction to the different notions of “theatricality”, lighting is used in this work as a deliberate dramatic aesthetic.
